Cause

This issue occurs when the DVSSP file exists in the original location after being extracted during sparse file collections.  For more information on sparse collections please refer to the Related articles section.


Workaround 1:

Perform the following steps to allow the items to be collected and deleted from the disk properly.

1. Remove the read-only attribute from the files in the partition that need to be collected.  This can be set as a Scheduled Task to run before collections to ensure the files are not read-only.  

attrib -R "path_to_root_of_partition\*.DVS*" /s

For example:

          attrib -R "E:\Enterprise Vault Stores\Journal Store Ptn1\*.DVS*" /s

2. Create a DWORD value for MinimumFilesInCollection and set to 1 so that all files are collected.

           32-bit path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Storage

           64-bit path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Storage

3. Restart the Enterprise Vault Storage Service.

4. Allow collections to run within the scheduled time or run manually by using the Run Now button on the Collections tab of the Vault Store Partition Properties page. 

Workaround 2:

Use the attached Powershell script method to remove the read-only attributes from the files.  

1. Follow the procedures in the ReadMe.txt file contained in the Remove_attrib.zip attachment to configure the script.  

2. Create a DWORD value for MinimumFilesInCollection and set to 1 so that all files are collected.
