Windows Home Server Bug Causes Problems
Microsoft Windows Home Server has a bug showing its ugly head that can cause some corrupted files. Seeing that the point of having a home server is to store files, this corruption of files can cause some problems for this purpose. According to Microsoft, the bug only becomes an issue when the system is under an "extreme load" but have decided to sound an alarm and conduct an investigation of the issue before it becomes a serious issue. Microsoft says that the problem is not 100 percent reproducible and depends on several factors to make it happen. The server must be under an extreme load and doing a large file copy, and at the same time the server cache must be full and the user has to be editing a file to a previously shared folder. At some time in the future, a fix will be pushed to all Windows Home Server customers by way of Windows Update with the process to be determined by the server software's Automatic Updates settings.
