SYMPTOMS

sp_dropdevice on a device that is being used by a database will indicate correctly that the device is being used and that it cannot be dropped. However, the information that it gives on device usage and segments is inaccurate.

WORKAROUND

Use sp_helpdb 'dbname' for information on device fragments for a database.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
