| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0x0 | Verify whether the dirty bit is set on the volume, and then perform a normal check on the file system. If the dirty bit is set, or if the normal check returns STATUS_FILE_CORRUPT_ERROR or STATUS_DISK_CORRUPT_ERROR, chkdsk is started in verbose mode. |
| 0x1 | Verify whether the dirty bit is set on the volume, and then perform a verbose check on the file system. If the dirty bit is set or if the verbose check returns STATUS_FILE_CORRUPT_ERROR, chkdsk is started in normal mode. |
| 0x2 | Run chkdsk in verbose mode on the volume every time it is mounted. |
| 0x3 | Verify whether the dirty bit is set on the volume, and then perform a normal check on the file system. |
| 0x4 | Don't perform any checks. |
| 0x5 | Verify whether the dirty bit is set on the volume, and then perform a verbose check on the file system. If a problem is found, chkdsk is started and the volume is not brought online. |
Remarks
Forcing a disk to mount despite errors can result in loss of data. Use caution when changing these properties.
Note
The chkdsk tool cannot be run on a cluster shared volume (CSV) that is operating in redirected mode.
