7. Known Issues/Limitations:
--------------------------------
7.1 Windows
- All Windows
Drive Letter may disappear after Medium Error on a Simple Volume
On a simple volume with Medium error, the error is reported to the Windows OS.
All the error handling is done by the operating system. The expected behavior
is intermittent and some times drive letter disappear.
- OS Caching cause invalid data in file copy from Medium Error locations in
specific conditions
When read medium error occur in simple volume or RAID-0 or a good member of a
degraded RAID-1/RAID-10, file copy in Windows Explorer will fail the first few
times but will pass on the later attempts; however, the file gets copied has
invalid data in the section where the medium error was. This happens because of
the Windows OS caching invalid data.
