Error C00000C4 while running from network drive

[kibi]

Hi, Steinar!

It's actually not a bug of the software, but it's unsteadiness to temporary network problems, while running in a farm mode.

I run FFASTrans from a network drive at 5 computers, so they become members of one coding farm. Everything goes OK while the connection stays stable. Sometimes (may be once per several days), our network goes down for a several seconds or minutes. This causes all the working instances to crash with error C00000C4 (InPageError) or 0XC0000006. And this is very sad, since the farm stops working and couldn't relaunch itself, when the connection to the network drive is restored.

As far as I understand, it's a system layer problem. If we execute any EXE or DLL from a network location, any instability could lead to such errors. That's why the issue could be resolved at architectural level only.

If FFASTrans starts from a local drive even in farm mode, it would withstand network instabilities with more success. Obviously, all the common workflow data should stay at shared location. And it's possible to provide a foolproof design when data, and only data is located at remote location.

Hi Alexander,

Running directly from a network share is programmatically more convenient. But I'm aware of this problem and I probably need to address it at some point.
