I am not using shadow copy, only using file shares and I have one service
resource called Extreme Z-IP, that has a dependency of all the disk.

If I take the group offline and bring the disk online one by one. Of the 8
disk, 4 of them take a long time to come on...as much as 5 minutes per
each
disk. I changed the disk settings so there are no dep. now, but that
didn't
seem to make a difference.

I have 3 other cluster groups and they don't have any issues with disk or
the group coming online or moving.

So, my natural reaction is that maybe I need to run chkdsk on these 4
disk.
But, not sure where to go from here?

finishes bringing the disk online before it freezes.


That is good information,

Question I would ask is, is the time it takes to online the same or
similar
if you take the groups offline, and the only online the disk (without
moving
any groups) ?

Second question I would ask is are you using shadow copies ?

If your answer is yes to both, the please look at this KB
