SYMPTOMS
On a Windows Server 2003 R2-based computer that has Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) installed, replication may fail after a &quot;dirty&quot; system shutdown. For example, this problem may occur after a power outage or after a system failure.

When this problem occurs, the following events are logged in the DFSR event log:

Description:

The DFS Replication service stopped replication on volume. This failure can occur because the disk is full, the disk is failing, or a quota limit has been reached.
