okay here's the deal... i have a SAN device with about 1.2 TBs of used space out of a possible 2.5 TBs. One folder, in one user's directory, is corrupt and unreadable, and causes the backup software to cry about how it can't access the folder, blah blah. it's getting really irritating, and the folder can be deleted since the user doesn't need the data anymore. the problem is, i cannot get rid of that fucker. i've tried using the various windows delete commands and the unix rm command. nothing works. there are two more possible solutions posed on microsoft's support site. the first is allowing a disk check to run... this isn't going to work though, since the device with the bad folder is connected via iscsi to the host server and the disk check will only let me run it on a reboot. the second option is to backup all the user data except the bad folder, move the data to another volume, re-format the old volume, and move the data back. obviously, this is a bit extreme seeing as how i'd have to move 1200 GBs of data from one volume to another, and then back again before anyone else needs to get into their data. not really the ideal scenario.
there has to be some other type of deleting or disk checking utility that can fix this. halp!
