System Event Log warning - possible corruption


Jaga

Question

I went and installed CloudDrive yesterday, just to get more of a feel for it's inner workings, though I don't expect to use it much (much of my data is local, FTP'd down).

And I wouldn't have personally noticed it since I don't spend a lot of time in the logs, but when my SnapRAID sync helper script kicked off this morning it flagged two events in the Windows System Event Log (Windows 7 Pro configured as a server) in an email to me, and then terminated the sync.  Those Event Log entries were:

  • Systen/NTFS, ID: 57, "The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur."
  • System/Disk, ID: 32, "The driver detected that the device \Device\Harddisk6\DR6 has its write cache enabled. Data corruption may occur."

They were timestamped within 20 minutes of each other yesterday, right around when I first installed CloudDrive and setup a simple 10 gig FTP drive across SFTP, and assigned a drive letter to it.  CloudDrive had a chance to sync up/down and finish cleanly, no problems were witnessed.  No actual data was put on the volume.

I went and allowed SnapRAID to do it's sync today after investigating, but I wanted to let the team out here know what I saw and the effect it had on the Event Logs and SnapRAID's helper script.  For now - I have the helper script stop/start the CloudDrive service before/after running a sync, in an attempt to flush any cached or open files.

If you want me to gather any more info or test anything in this config, I'd be glad to.

Got it, not terribly worried about it either way.  The error message hasn't reappeared in the event log since.  And stopping the Clouddrive service before running a Sync with Snapraid means it's data files are closed for writes, eliminating that possible problem.

Thanks!
