Paging error

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I am running an I/O stress test on a Win2k + SP2 test system.
During the I/O, I am getting the following message in the event log:

Event ID: 51
Source: Disk
Description: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk6\DR6
during a paging operation.

I do not have any paging file on Harddisk6.
It looks like the disk class driver is logging this event,
but there seems to be no such event logging in disk.sys
sources in the W2K DDK.

Does anybody know when/why this error is logged?

Thanks in advance,
karthigeyan

This can be a cache flush, or a cache miss, or a user mapped file - all of them are paging IO.
The fact you have no pagefile on the volume does not mean you will not have paging IO.
