Cause

This issue can be caused by either a high I/O load on the volume or sector and/or File-System corruption on the volume.

Run a chkdsk in read-only mode on the affected volume to determine if there is sector level or File-System level errors that need to be repaired.

NOTE:: There can still be file-system errors on the disk in question even if the read-only chkdsk reports no issues.

Solution

If the chkdsk on the affected volume produces errors perform the steps below:

1. Open command prompt
2. Enter the drive of the affected volume: (eg. "d:")
3. Run the command: "chkdsk /r" (Will likely require a reboot)
4. Upon completion of the check disk run the "chkdsk" command against the affected volume to determine if any further errors exist.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until there are no more errors produced on the volume.

If the issue continues then the issue is a high I/O load on the volume. Perform the solution in https://veritas.com/docs/000012108.
