Windows internals 2008 r2

It makes sense that windows is caching the metadata for the files accessed but i need to determine if this is a windows issue or an application issue. Hi, we have the same issue. The link you have posted only discusses the issue, but offers no solutions. At this point the server becomes very slow and barely usable. We have noticed that resetting NIC clears all this cache.

Unfortunately, this is not a permanent solution. Also, during the course of a day, large amount of relatively small files is either copied to or retrieved from this file server by Windows 7 client PCs. This makes the server unusable too. The same trick with resetting NIC solves the problem.

The server has the latest HP Support Pack and firmware installed. We also have a server with Hyland Onbase and I am running into the high Metafile usage as well as high Driver Locked memory usage. I believe the Driver Locked memory usage has something to do with the VM Tools installed on this server. But I am wondering if you ever came to a solution with the high Metafile usage?

Has anyone managed to resolve these issues yet? We are having a similar problem. We have a file server that contains somewhere in the region of 6 million files spread across k folders and when the full backup runs, you can watch the memory usage go up and up until eventually it just trips up and the process terminates and the backup fails. Is this more likely going to be resolved by throwing more memory at the problem, or will this problem still persist?

Problem is, it will not work on Server R2. View 1 comment. Jun 04, Ian Hanschen rated it really liked it.

The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded.

Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded. The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work. These include system mechanisms, management mechanisms, networking, file systems, cache management and troubleshooting system crashes.

Inside Windows NT was the first book ever published about Windows NT and provided key insights into the architecture and design of the system. It updated the original book to cover Windows NT 4. It added many new topics, such as startup and shutdown, service internals, registry internals, file-system drivers, and networking.

Windows Internals, Fourth Edition was the Windows XP and Windows Server update and added more content focused on helping IT professionals make use of their knowledge of Windows internals, such as using key tools from Windows Sysinternals and analyzing crash dumps.

The next release, Windows Internals, Sixth Edition, was fully updated to address the many kernel changes in Windows 7 and Windows Server R2, with many new hands-on experiments to reflect changes in the tools as well.
