I have a Windows 2008R2 server that's reporting the following error:
The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume2.
Using Powershell and WMI how do I identify which volume this is when querying Win32_Volume
.
For example if I do:
Get-WmiObject Win32_Volume
I get a list of all the volumes on the server, however none of the Win32_Volume
class properties use (what appears be) this "friendly" name - \Device\HarddiskVolume2
. I can see there's a DeviceID
property which returns a value like this:
DeviceID : \\?\Volume{4bc3df2a-65c7-11e0-9c33-806e6f6e6963}\
There's also a Name
property but that's just the drive letter assigned to the volume. None of the other properties have a value remotely resembling what is reported in the event log.
I know I could parse the output from fltmc volumes
or DISKPART
to get this information, but there must be a way to obtain this using WMI in a PowerShell script.
I have also looked at the Win32_DiskDrive
, Win32_DiskPartition
and Win32_LogicalDisk
classes but there is no mention of property values resembling \Device\HarddiskVolume2
.
