Self Healing Capabilities of NTFS
No we’re not talking about growing more CPU power, Hard Disk Space or anything Sci-Fi like that. One of the newest and most fancy feature not typically visible to the average user is the ability for Windows Server 2008 to self-heal NTFS. What does that me and how does it do that? I hear you ask. Simply put a Windows Server 2008 worker thread runs in the background monitoring files and directories for any flaws and corruption. When it finds a problem it takes correct action to protect the data.
In previous versions of the Windows Server Operating System, if a file became corrupt or there was a system problem, you would have to reboot the Server and run check disk. You know what I’m talking about we’ve all been there.. a corrupt file or system problem leads to the CHKDSK utility, quickly followed by a reboot and extended period of downtime if there are a lot of errors or bad sectors on the hard disk. Read a recent post for more details on how to “Find and Fix System Problems and Corrupt Files and Folders”.
This amazing feature is something you will never see as it is a behind the scenes feature of Microsoft Windows 2008 Server Operating System. It’s designed to keep Windows Server OS running reliably and with fewer system problems.
