Cluster is showing the Same drive a few times with "VerificationDisk010" appended to it.

  • Taking over a new server, and i've got an Active/Passive Cluster with Windows Server 2008R2 Ent, hosting a SQL2012 instance.

    In the failover cluster manager, one of my drives is listed multiple times, with a suffix attached to it, as seen below.

    I've never seen this before, and i've administered three other very similar clusters, but never encountered this behavior before.

    if i go to the Disk Management, i see eleven copies of the N: drive. the N drive actually has 52.1 Gig of drive space; you can see the VerificationVersions0xx are reporting more than that.; i do have a J: drive that has 319 Gig of space, but no matter how i chop that, i don't see it as 296 gig.

    has anyone seen this before?

  • some more information, i see in the system event view errors referring to mount points being invalid: the network admin is not aware of any mount points being used, if we need disk space, he just goes to teh SA?N storage and expands a volume, no need for mount points.

    Cluster disk resource 'Disk N' contains an invalid mount point. Both the source and target disks associated with the mount point must be clustered disks, and must be members of the same group.

    Mount point 'Verification\MPDisk001\' for volume '\\?\Volume{1ad1fa42-3ae3-46a4-98f8-9a51a29a9b50}\' references an invalid target disk. Please ensure that the target disk is also a clustered disk and in the same group as the source disk (hosting the mount point).
