Hi,

I have a bit of a weird issue that I am trying to solve.

The issue is that randomly the data hard drive that has all the shares on the servers become unavailable(not sure how best to describe it but you can see the HDD in This PC but it is blank).

I have DFS running between all the servers and they range from 2012-2016 server OS

  • If I double click on the HDD, explorer just freezes.
  • If I try to access disk management disk management freezes
  • If I try to logout or restart it just hangs and never restarts(have to reset)
  • I have tried on Hyper-V VMs and physical servers and get the same result that it will happen eventually.
Could this be caused by a corrupted file in the shares that someone tries to access every now and then?

Also nothing in event logs.
