ERROR_DISK_REPAIR_REDIRECTED
online volume repair was redirected to an offline repair operation.
ERROR_DISK_REPAIR_REDIRECTED indicates this condition: Windows found that the requested corruption could not be repaired safely while the volume remained online. The repair request must be scheduled for a state in which the volume is dismounted or otherwise taken offline.
Where the result appears
- file-system self-healing escalating a repair.
- chkdsk or storage-management APIs operating on a mounted volume.
- server maintenance software reacting to corruption telemetry.
- boot-time scheduling after an online scan identifies an unrepairable item.
What to collect
- the volume identity, file-system, corruption record, and repair verb.
- whether the volume is system, boot, cluster, CSV, or ordinary data storage.
- open-handle and dismount constraints.
- the scheduled repair state and subsequent chkdsk or file-system result.
Handling and recovery
Plan an outage, back up critical data, and perform the supported offline scan or repair. Confirm the next boot or maintenance action actually ran, then review the final log rather than assuming scheduling alone fixed the volume.
Common misinterpretation
Redirected does not mean repaired. It means the online path declined the operation and handed responsibility to an offline maintenance path.
