The error code ERROR_SCRUB_DATA_DISABLED (332 or 0x14C) indicates that data scrubbing functionality is currently deactivated on a specific volume. Data scrubbing plays a crucial role in verifying and repairing data integrity issues within storage volumes, thereby ensuring that the stored data is accurate and free from corruption.
This particular error may surface on Windows Server for a variety of reasons, including the deactivation of data deduplication, the utilization of an unsupported file system on a designated partition, or misconfigured data scrubbing settings.
How can I resolve ERROR_SCRUB_DATA_DISABLED?
1. Review Data Deduplication Settings
- Launch the Server Manager and navigate to the File and Storage Services section.
- Identify the volume that is reporting the error and examine its deduplication status.
- If deduplication is found to be turned off, consider initiating a deep scrubbing job to rectify any underlying issues.
2. Check the File System and RAID Setup
- Confirm that the volume is operating under a compatible file system and RAID configuration that allows for data scrubbing.
- For instance, file systems like Btrfs and storage pools configured with RAID types like RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID F1 provide support for data scrubbing capabilities.
3. Activate Data Scrubbing
- Access your system’s storage management tool, for instance, Synology Storage Manager.
- Go to the settings for the volume and enable data scrubbing functionalities.
- Set up a schedule for regular data scrubbing tasks to uphold data integrity consistently.
By undertaking these corrective measures, you can effectively address the ERROR_SCRUB_DATA_DISABLED issue and help ensure the consistency and integrity of your data.
Additionally, some users have reported issues where data scrubbing jobs become unresponsive or fail in Windows Server 2012 R2. If you are still utilizing that version, Microsoft has released a patch available on a dedicated support page.
