your network drive becomes unavailable.
You might also see the message, “File system contains errors. Please check.”
when you click the icons under the File & Print menu.
To view File System status:
1. Start PASM.

2. In the Tree, click the + beside the RAID & File System icon.
3. Click the File System Management icon.
4. Look for the RAID Volume icon on the File System Status tab.
If the RAID Volume icon is Critical (has a yellow !), the file system
contains errors and you must rebuild the file system. See below.
