It is a great program but on a large capacity disk it either bails or takes days. :-( Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bobby Heid Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2012 2:25 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Server harddrive updates What about something like SpinRite? Bobby -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 4:45 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] Server harddrive updates I have had to do updates on one of my servers. The server, in question, has 4 x 2TB drives and the time it takes to run a full check-disk is about 6 hours. In the meantime, I have had to re-direct to a friends site to maintain all of the web support. Question: Is there anyway, software package, or method to run in the background as the system will currently only do a thorough check-disk in boot mode which means the whole server is effective down until the process is completed.
