Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
- You have a network share that is hosted on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 in a network environment.
- You map a drive to the network share on a client computer that is running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.
- You open some applications to query the extended attributes of the files on the network share.
- You open Windows Explorer and then click the mapped drive to browse the files.
In this scenario, Windows Explorer stops responding for about 35 seconds.
Cause
This issue occurs because of the file control block (FCB) resource being locked unexpectedly before the client sends the CreateFile and QueryInformation requests to the server. Therefore, the client cannot handle the Oplock break notification request that is returned by the server. This behavior causes Windows redirector to temporarily stop responding.
