Russ,

Is this server part of a Microsoft cluster?
In that case you should apply a hotfix or servicepack 2.
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q252974.
Otherwise, please provide more details about the netraid configuration.

Marco.

Hi,

Please read below the cause and solution for your question.

This could be because of automatic installation with the HP netserver navigator: see solutions IS7836 and IS9021 in http://isupport2.hp.com/solnDirect.asp
and/or Netraid 1M mgmt issue

I Hope this will help.

SOLUTION ID# IS10709



ISSUE:

Under a heavy I/O in Windows NT?? 4.0, multiple messages regarding System Process - Lost Delayed - Write Data appear.



CAUSE:

NT Disk Administrator reports the following partitions and sizes on Logical drive 0:3 partitions with space totaling 17,367 MB. However, the HP NetRAID-1M controller reports this logical drive as 17,351 MB, a difference of 16 MB. When NT writes data to the 16 MB disk space, the Lost Delayed - Write Data error occurs.



SOLUTION:

The logical drive size is matched between the NT Disk Adminstrator and HP NetRAID Utility by doing the following:

Back up the data on the server.

Update the HP NetRAID-1M firmware.

Reconfigure the array with the HP NetRAID-1M controller.

Re-initialize the logical drives.

Reinstall the operating system and restored the data.

Another potential workaround could be to backup the data on the last partition, delete it, and recreate a partition smaller than the original, so the used space in the Disk Administrator matches the drive size reported by the HP NetRAID controller.

NOTE: The above workaround is yet to be tested in the NSD lab.
