Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • There is a volume in an NTFS file system on this computer. There are lots of files that are in a folder on this volume. For example, assume that there are more than 5000 files in this folder.

  • Many files in the folder were opened at least one time previously.

  • You try to rename the folder name.

In this scenario, the computer stops responding for some time. Therefore, the computer responds to a mouse button click or to a screen update very slowly.Note If the Failover Clustering feature is installed on the computer, the cluster resources that are hosted on the computer fail over to the other nodes because of this issue.

Cause

The rename operation for a directory checks whether a file in the folder is opened by a user. During this operation, a volume control block (VCB) lock is obtained, and any other I/O requests to the volume are blocked. If the number of files in the directory is large, this process of checking whether a file is opened may take an unnecessarily long time. Therefore, the computer stops responding for this long time. However, the computer eventually recovers.
