This article describes an issue that occurs if you enable data deduplication on an NTFS compressed volume in Windows Server 2012 R2. You can fix this issue by using the update in this article. Before you install this update, see the Prerequisites section.

Symptoms

Users can no longer open files on a deduplication-enabled volume that's created with NTFS compression enabled at the root of the volume. Additionally, the corrupted files can no longer be recovered.

Cause

This issue occurs because deduplication metadata that's stored on the compressed volume root becomes corrupted when a process writes in-place to a file on the deduplicated volume. The deduplication metadata that is stored on the compressed volume root is located under the System Volume Information (SVI) folder.
