Windows Home Server data corruption fix on the way

by Darren Murph, posted May 23rd 2008 at 2:07AM

Guess what, loyal Windows Home Server users? A fix for that completely obnoxious data corruption bug is on the way. According to an email beamed out by the WHS team, the final release of Power Pack 1 is still aways out, but the public beta is all set to be loosed on those who willingly accept the associated risk(s). Said download is slated to launch in "early June," but those who want to get in on the pre-release fun are being encouraged to sign up now. Needless to say, those who toss their name in the ring better be sure their data is backed way up -- after all, the whole point of this test is to find any remaining holes that could render your files unusable. Keep an eye on that inbox for an invite, and if you're content with just getting the end product, the wait is growing ever shorter.

[Thanks, Drew]

Awesome. I've been holding off on building a WHS system until this was all sorted out, so it sounds like I'll be ready to build soon. I'll probably still give this patch about a month in the wild, just to be sure that everything is completely smooth, though.
