Re: Low Disk Space Alerts

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

And they are not being "safely" removed by turning them off before they are removed.

Yes.

Use external USB drives for backup ( rotate weekly and always store one in a fire proof safe). Ample space available though.

I keep getting the following alerts:

Drive Letter: HarddiskVolume7
Free Disk Space: 0.000000. MB
% Free Disk Space: 0.000000.%

Most of these are on RAID5 arrays with 1 or 2 partitions usually. They have
plenty of gigs of space available usually.

Since the Drive Letter listed is not an actual partition letter, I'm unsure
what is causing the errors. Could it be something with the RAID5 array
perhaps?

I get these daily from two of my clients and am just puzzled.

Thanks,

Andrew
