We are seeing increasing problems with VFP applications (some of our own and other commercial ones) as our customers have their servers upgraded.
A lot of these servers are now virtual machines hosted on a physical machine. In some instances these are remote desktop servers which access the VFP data from a different server.
The file access issues seem to be random, in some instances the indexes get corrupted and need to be repaired.
Anti Virus has been ruled out by uninstalling it, but the problems persist.
Any ideas? Any issues with VFP data and VM's?
Regards
Chris.

We have been running our data on VMs for a good few years now with mostly no problems. A couple of years ago we started getting index corruptions and found out it was only when a remote user did an operation. Updated the RDP software and the problems went away.

Old "legacy" VFP application running under a "VM" environment. Been running this way for at least four years. However, as of late I am seeing intermittent "File Read Errors" when a table is used/opened. Completely random and intermittent. Reboot the workstation and they are good. My biggest issue, of course, is it getting worse.... Yikes. Actually I'm about to replace a current hardware with a new server and storage devices. We shall see...
No corruption to indexes, normal amount of memo field bloat etc.

We recently upgraded to a new server box from running Windows Server 2008 (3 VM's) to Windows Server 2019 (running 6 VM's). Most of the VM's have access to FoxPro data and function without incident.
Have you made sure that Windows Defender has also been set to ignore .DBF/.CDX/.FPT files on both the servers and the workstations?

I am sure the Anti Virus which had been ruled out as the cause (Sophos) has been reinstalled and disables Defender, but it's a good heads up and I will double check.

Following on from this, we have discovered this setup is using a shared cluster disc? Could this be having any effect? We have moved the data from the VM's onto an existing physical server (the doman controller) and all the issues have gone away.

And the link from your message worked. Maybe it's something funky with Outlook (nobody's said that before!)
As everyone else has said, I'm grateful for the work you've put into hosting the list, long after your last Fox project were done.

Ed, I re-ran the broken-link-checker over at https://blog.tedroche.com https://blog.tedroche.com/wp-admin// and all the leafe.com links are working fine.
Thanks again!
Fred, I'm curious if your setup has data on one server, and the VFP applications are on another server. If they are setup this way, how much activity do the VFP data files get?
And for everyone else... I know we have trouble with index corruption. It is partly the VM server hosting the data gets a little overwhelmed from time to time, and partly due to how this 30+ year code base uses the tables. We have over 600 users connecting to one of 18 VM's which access various datasets on one of four VM's during our peak times of the week. Corruption seems to be an everyday thing. We have some crucial areas that depend on the indexes. In these areas, we have implemented code to verify or just reindex the files when the user goes in to the process. We also delete and create the indexes daily for some customers (maybe 20 out of 3600+).
Have a good one, Tracy

Were were just having real issues of slowness on our W2008R2 servers (VM). That has all gone away with the W2019 servers (VM). We never have had a big issue with data corruption, I think only one file in over 10 years. Our system is about 30 users, 2 remote access through RDP and VPN.

I have a file server (W2008 Server) and when I run a VFP program on my Terminal Server (W2008R2 server) using RDP I experience frequent random slowdowns, such as: -10-30 second slowdown where typed input stays in the keyboard buffer and eventually catches up. -occasional RDP timeouts for up to a minute where the keyboard buffer data is lost. The connection almost always reconnects after 1 or 2 retries.
Fred, is this similar to your 'server slowness'?
I've never been able to determine if my issue is with the file servers, terminal server, my internet connection, the VPN, my local 32bit laptop, or all.
I do not use VM's, these are separate boxes on the same gigabit switch. I use the VPN supplied with my SonicWall appliance.

No, our server slowness was on local connections on the network. We were pretty sure it was a Windows update that changed something. Server 2019 does not have rhe issue, it was with W2008R2. We had a lot of changes occur, so it's kind of hard to pin down on any one thing. RDP suffered the same thing, but that was mainly because the server with the files on it slowed down so significantly.
Processes/queries that normally were 2 to 5 seconds were taking minutes.
