    Что это за проблема?

  • Сегодня столкнулся с аналогичной ошибкой.

  • https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2964429

    Workaround

    To temporarily work around this problem, either disable the Storage Optimizer «Optimize drives» service or exclude the thin provisioned LUNs from the scheduled task.

    Status

    Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the «Applies to» section.

    More information

    There’s no need to run Storage Optimizer on thin provisioned LUNs that use an allocation size (also known as slab size) of less than 8 MB. Thin provisioned LUNs that have a smaller slab size manage space more efficiently,
    and the benefits of defragmenting them are not as great.

    When you run the Storage Optimizer with the Analyze switch at a command prompt or a PowerShell prompt (for example, defrag
    g: /a     or Optimize-Volume -Analyze g –Verbose) on a thin provisioned LUN that’s using a small slab size, the command does not execute, and you receive the following error message:

    Neither Slab Consolidation nor Slab Analysis will run if slabs are less than 8 MB.

    This is expected behavior because slab consolidation and slab analysis has been disabled on thin provisioned LUNs that have a slab size of less than 8 MB.

  • Hi,

    This issue could be caused if Defragment take operation on SSD. And as we know SSD cannot be defragged.

    To check if your SSD has been defragmented, please run following powershell command:

    Get-EventLog -LogName Application -Source «microsoft-windows-defrag» | sort timegenerated -desc | fl timegenerated, message

    Judging by the drive letter, you can easily see if your SSD drive gets defragmented. The SSD volume below has been correctly re-trimmed first, but then erroneously defragged.

    You can try following steps to avoid defragmentation of your SSD:

    Exclude SSD from automatic maintenance

    Open the disk optimizer (dfrgui):

    1.       
      Press «Change Settings».
    2.       
      Press «Choose» and remove checkboxes from SSD volumes.

    In addition, I will document it and confirm with product team if it is by design.

    Keep post.

Event ID 257

The volume (C:) was not optimized because an error was encountered:
The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057)

I have Windows 8.1 64 Bit (HDD) and lately I noticed the above event in my Event Viewer. I get every day 3 or 4 of these errors. Anyone found a solution to this ?

  • SFC /SCANNNOW didn’t solve the problem: Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Solutions that I did not try but might work

  1. Basic steps to use diskpart to assign a drive letter to the system
    partition

    1. Open an elevated command prompt.

    2. Type diskpart and press Enter. You leave the standard command prompt and enter the diskpart utility. (Nothing exciting happens,
      don’t worry.)

    3. Type list disk and press Enter to get a listing of the disks on the system. (More accurately, the disks visible to diskpart.) Figure
      out
      which disk contains the partition you want to assign a drive letter
      to.

    4. Type select disk X, where X is the applicable disk number.

    5. Type list partition and press Enter to get a listing of recognized partitions on disk X (from step 4). Your desired
      partition will the
      listed there. If not, go outside and enjoy nature.

    6. Type select partition Y, where Y is the applicable partition number.

    7. Type assign letter=Z, where Z is the drive letter you wish to assign. Diskpart should reply: DiskPart successfully assigned the
      drive letter or mount point.

    Once the system recognizes the drive letter (a reboot may help; as I
    mentioned, I did not reboot before the trim worked, but did have to
    wait awhile), you should be able to defrag/trim.

    To unassign the drive letter:

    A. Carry out steps 1 — 6 above.

    B. Type remove and press Enter. Diskpart should reply: DiskPart
    successfully removed the drive letter or mount point.

    I hope this helps.

  1. I am not entirely sure why it helped, but after I had the same
    issue (0x80070057 during defrag, chkdsk reports no errors) reseting
    the journal seemed to fix it.

    Open an Administrator command prompt and make use of fsutil:

    fsutil usn deletejournal /D volume pathname
    fsutil usn createjournal m=max-value a=alloc-delta volume pathname

    Eg :
    fsutil usn deletejournal /D C:
    fsutil usn createjournal m=1000 a=100 C:

    Maybe it helps someone else as well.

After doing some research, I found out that Microsoft released a Hotfix for this issue.

Symptoms

When you run the Disk Defragmenter (Defrag.exe) utility on a volume on a computer that’s running Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2, the defrag operation fails. Additionally, event ID 257 is logged in the Application log. This event displays a «The parameter is incorrect» error message. In this case, you may be unable to optimize the volume for space efficiency.

Prerequisites

To apply this hotfix, you must be running one of the following operating systems:

  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows Server 2012 R2

from KB Article Number: 2929874

It often results from an ‘unusual’ (such as ^ & or $ ) character in a file or folder names. Therefore, suggest you use the System File Checker

sfc /scannow

Which will take some time to complete.

Windows runs the defrag.exe utility via the Scheduled Tasks subsystem in an effort perform SSD maintenance and/or defrag drives automatically.

If the defrag.exe cannot defrag a volume, it will log event 257, even if other drives have been processed successfully.

In most cases (especially workstations) this event can be safely ignored and/or excluded from monitoring.

A bug fix appears to be available from Microsoft but does unfortunately not install on most systems.

I have got a strange issue that just begun on january 29th.  I have a server that is getting a defrag error with the following details:

The volume (C:) was not optimized because an error was encountered: Neither Slab Consolidation nor Slab Analysis will run if slabs are less than 8 MB. (0x8900002D)

I have searched google up and down but can’t really understand what exactly this means.  This is a virtual server running on VMware 6.5.  When I go to the defag gui I can see that the hard drives are showing as «Thin Provisioned» but the strange thing is, other vm’s also with thin provision drives are showing in there respective gui as «Hard Disk Drives».  Those machines are not getting this error.  Can someone help me out here?

Event ID 257 Slab Consolidation Not Optimized

Following the installation of a new Veeam One platform on a Windows 2012 R2 server (now migrated to W2019), I encountered an issue with the deduplication and defragmentation of a partition on the HDD. An “Event 257 Slab Consolidation Not Optimized” appeared.

The volume (C:) was not optimized because an error was encountered: Neither Slab Consolidation nor Slab Analysis will run if slabs are less than 8 MB. (0x8900002D)

As a symptom, I found this message on Microsoft Support: “When you run the Disk Defragmenter utility (Defrag.exe) on a volume on a computer running Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2, the defragmentation operation fails. In addition, event ID 257 is recorded in the application log. This event displays an error message “The setting is incorrect.”

Possible cause of Event 257 Defrag Slab Consolidation Not Optimized

There are several possible causes of the problem. But what we do know is that the problem occurs when defragmenting VM files, whether in Hyper-V or Netapp.

  • What is your file system? NTFS, REFS? or Mon?
  • the storage is shared ?
  • Is it a RAID disk? (in my case yes)
  • Are the disks SATA or is there SSD?
  • As a reminder, SSDs don’t really like defragmentation

Using the Defrag.exe program or the ScheduledDefrag task we get this error message Event 257 Slab Consolidation Not Optimized. A first solution is to modify the task.

By default, if we go to the windows task explorer we call %windir%system32defrag.exe -c -h -k -g -$

event ID 257 defrag.exe -c -h -k -g -$

1: How to resolve Event ID 257 Slab Consolidation Not Optimized

As in the previous picture, the first solution is to modify the task in the task scheduler.

  • search for the ScheduledDefrag task in Microsoft –> Windows –> Defrag
  • Right click and select “property”.
  • Go to the “Action” tab
  • Select the action and make it modify
  • Remove the -k
  • Save and run the task

The -k means “Perform section consolidation on specified volumes”. Here are all the options of the defrag.exe application (from microsoft)

/a Perform an analysis on the specified volumes.
/C Perform the operation on all volumes.
/d Perform traditional defragmentation (this is the default). On a tiered volume, however, traditional defragmentation is performed only on the capacity level.
/e Perform the operation on all volumes except those specified.
/g Optimize storage levels on specified volumes.
/h Perform the operation with normal priority (the default value is Low).
/i [n] The level optimization would run for at most n seconds on each volume.
/k Perform section consolidation on the specified volumes.
/l Make a readjustment on the specified volumes.
/m [n] Run the operation on each volume in parallel in the background. At most n threads optimize the storage levels in parallel.
/o Perform the appropriate optimization for each media type.
/t Follows up an operation already in progress on the specified volume.
/U Print the progress of the operation on the screen.
/v Display the detailed output containing fragmentation statistics.
/x Perform a free space consolidation on the specified volumes.
/? Displays this help information.
Source : Microsoft Defrag

Now, either there are two cases, you have no more error messages and everything is ok, or you get a new error message “The volume (C:) was not optimized because an error was encountered: The operation requested is not supported by the hardware backing the volume (0x8900002A)”. In this case, I invite you to go to solution number 2. This is the most efficient one, thanks to powershell

2 : Powershell Defrag Optimize Volume

If the first solution to defragment and optimize your disk, especially for deduplication, did not work, you can switch to this much more efficient solution.

  • Open a powershell console as administrator
  • enter “Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -Defrag -Verbose

Normally, you should have solved your problem. If not, I invite you to leave a comment, I will answer it by trying to reproduce your system error. Also check this post on Microsoft Technet
