    We frequently get the following error on our SharePoint 2007 web front end. It is runninig on 64 bit Windows Server 2003. We only have one applicaiton pool using the blob cache. How do I resolved this error?

    NT Event Log : Office SharePoint Server An error occured in the blob cache.  The exception message was 'The process cannot access the file 'x:\blobCache\1811074914\flushcount.bin' because it is being used by another process.'.

      Hi mbuckingham,

       

      Was this error Event ID 5538?

      You can patch the August 2009 CU for your SharePoint and check again, there is an article with similar issue, you can check.

      Thanks

      Regards, Daniel

        I installed the August 2011 cumulative update on our servers last night. This morning we are still getting teh error message all though much less frequently.

        NT Event Log : Office SharePoint Server An error occured in the blob cache.  The exception message was 'The process cannot access the file 'x:\blobCache\1811074914\flushcount.bin' because it is being used by another process.'.

        Any suggestions?

          Hi mbuckingham,

          After installing the CU, you need to run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard, then check again.

          Thanks 

          Regards, Daniel

            Yes. I installed the WSS update, ran the configuration wizard to apply the update then installed the MOSS update and ran the configurtion wizard to install that update. All completely successfully and the farms show the appropriate version number, 12.0.0.6565. However, we still get the error message a few times a day.

              HI,

              After the wizard have you rebooted your server? If not then proceed to do so.

               

              Thanks, Rahul Rashu

                After I ran the installer for each cumulative update I was prompted to reboot and did a reboot before running the configuration wizard. So the process went like this.

                Install WSS CU

                Reboot

                Run Configuration Wizard

                Install MOSS CU

                Reboot

                Run Configuration Wizard

                I don't mind rebooting again after hours tonight. Do you normally need to do that after running the configuration wizard?

                  Hi,

                  Yes we do that.

                  So please proceed and do let us know the results.

                   

                  Thanks, Rahul Rashu

                    We determined that the blob cache was not a good fit for our environment because our sites are all collaborative and have frequent changes. Rather than a bug, I suspect this error may have occurred when the files were locked during updates to the cache caused by changes to resources in the databases that were being cached. We noticed the errors coincided with the site becoming unresponsive for several seconds as requests queued while the cache updated. Once the update completed the site processed the queued requests and return to normal performance levels.  Stefan Goßner made reference to this issue in this blog post:

                    http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2010/10/08/blob-caching-be-careful-when-flushing-the-cache.aspx

                    He was quoting this TechNet article on planning for caching and performance.

                    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee424404.aspx

                    His post and the article are targeted at 2010 but, in our experience, the information is also applicable to 2007.
