Windows Home Server. Windows Update - March, 2008. IBM/Lotus Notes03/30/2008 04:49 PM
WHS's data corruption problems go back to December 2007, when Microsoft confirmed that editing a document, image or e-mail stored on the server could corrupt the file, effectively destroying the data. Since then, WHS product managers have struggled to pin down the bug, saying in December that it cropped up only when the server was under an "extreme load" as it copied large files. They recanted that explanation just weeks later.
According to today's post, the team now knows what's going on. "We understand the issue really well at this point -- it is at an extremely low level of the operating system and it requires thorough testing to ensure that the fix addresses the issue."
In the revised support document, Microsoft went into greater detail about the cause of the data corruption flaw. "A bug has been discovered in the way that Windows Home Server manages file transfer and balancing across multiple hard drives," said the document. "In certain cases, depending on application use patterns, timing, and the workload that is placed on the Windows Home Server-based computer, certain files may become corrupted."
Windows Update - March, 2008 An update is available for Windows Home Server today via Windows Update. It should download automatically within the next 24 hours and get applied if you have Windows Updates turned on. The title of the KB article that explains the update is titled: "You may randomly receive a false expiration notice that prompts you to activate Windows Home Server."
