fcb::ZeroFile(): GetOverLappedResult() failed with error 27.

Hi,
I have a server that is running MSSQL2000 SP4 + 2159 hotfix. Whever I try to
expand a data file by 4 GB - it does not report any error. The windows
explorer shows the new size. But the enterpise manager and sp_helpdb show the
old size and there is an entry in the SQL error log that says..
fcb::ZeroFile(): GetOverLappedResult() failed with error 27.
Has any one come across this before? What is the solution?
Sounds like you have some serious issues with your disk. 27 is an OS error, "Cannot find requested
sector". Is the file compressed? If so, this isn't supported, and things like these are expected
(although I'm not sure whether this particular error message is expected). If not, I'd run a
comprehensive check at the file system/disk level.
