Identifying Windows File System Access Errors (Storage Viewer for File Analytics)
While profiling the Windows master file table and file systems, a number of error messages may appear in the MFT.Aptare_File_Inventory.log file. These errors actually may require no follow-up actions. Typically, the errors are legitimate, such as a file being locked for exclusive use. Therefore, some files in the C:\Windows\System32 directory will not be profiled.
Example of a Log Error Message:
Unable To Access File C:\Windows\System32\Boot. Error 2. Skipping!!!
 
The following table lists System Errors with descriptions.
