SYMPTOMS
Under conditions in which the file system is heavily stressed, the following error message may be displayed:
You may also receive the following entry in the program log:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MRxSmb
Event Category: None
Event ID: 50
Description: {Lost Delayed-Write Data} The system was attempting to transfer file data from buffers to \Device\LanmanRedirector. The write operation failed, and only some of the data may have been written to the file.
The event contains the same text as the error message, but also contains the error status in the data section. Double-click the event, and then click Words for the data type; the last word contains the status. If the status code is c000020c, this hotfix may resolve this issue.
CAUSE
Under heavy disk input/output (I/O) stress condition while an SMB network connection is being used through the loopback interface, a server (SRV) thread and redirector (RDR) thread may deadlock.
This behavior has been observed on a Windows 2000 Datacenter Server-based cluster running Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition under extreme disk-stress conditions with a concurrent run of a complex query script and a database backup.
