I would suspect either a virus scanner or the Windows System Protect
"Feature". Which file extension are you using for the datebase?

Re: [firebird-support] DRBD

[Michael Weissenbacher m...@dermichi.com [firebird-support]]

Hi!
 1. Does anyone know if Firebird + DRBD is a thing or am I ploughing my
 own furrow?
I have it working flawlessly for 5+ years here. DRBD + XFS + Firebird 
Databases on 2 Cluster nodes with Heartbeat / Pacemaker.

 2. Can anyone suggest a way that I could try to induce database killing
 activity via regular client access?
Sorry, no suggestions for you here.

 3. We have a preference for Protocol B, are we mad?
I have always been using Protocol C, never experienced any performance 
issues.

 Hopefully I'm not alone, although google thinks I am.
Nope, you are not.

hth,
Michael
