Remote Storage oplocks "opportunistic file locking" failures may cause a reduction in system performance and issues with file system filters.

Back to the top

Remote Storage maintains a list of pre-migrated files in a File System Agent (FSA) database, which is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32\FsaDb folder. A pre-migrated file is one that has been copied to offline storage but is not yet truncated (data still resides locally on the volume). Because the volume free space is still above the appropriate level, files are only truncated when the actual volume free space falls below the specified minimum value.

An oplock failure can occur if you open or modify one of these pre-migrated files before it is truncated.
