I have volume for which I plan to run chkdsk operation with various flags…
I randomly face issue with /x option…
doc says that /x Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary. All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid (implies /F).
If necessary means when??I am not seeing issues all the time when I run /x but I am sure that when I use this option occassionally I am having some problem(basically my write to that disk gives status_invalid_device_request).
thanks in advance

I’d imagine that it would do that if it couldn’t open the volume for
write/nowriteshare (often referred to as an implied lock)
What Does WinBg Say?
