SYMPTOMS
Content Replication System (CRS) interprets corrupt files as files locked waiting for the copy to complete.



CAUSE
CRS uses ReadDirectoryW to receive notifications from Windows NT when a files has been changed. This call will notify CRS about a change that has not yet completed. It will also notify CRS several times about the same file. As a result, CRS caches these entries for a period of time and then start transferring the data. To determine when the file is actually available for transfer, CRS does a "BusyFile" check by opening the file. Unfortunately, the Open call is failing because the file is corrupt and CRS is interpreting it as a large file that is locked pending completion of copy.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MCIS 1.0 and Site Server.
