Some things I have experienced:
Domino 8.0.1 fatal bugs:
- AIX server with Domino 8.0.1 keeps crashing several times per day
- One Windows32 server with Domino 8.0.1 has crashed 2 times total
- Another Windows32 server with Domino 8.0.1 crashed today for the first time
Notes 8.0.1 fatal bugs:
- Notes 8.0.1 has caused the harddisk's Master File Table to get corrupted on 2 different PCs, obviously because I am replicating my mail file to Local every 1 minute, and it has also FTI.
The symptoms that Notes 8.0.1 has damaged your harddisk's MFT are like this:
- Error dialog window in Windows: "Windows cannot access C:\$Mft. Please run Chkdsk to fix the error."
- The local replica will be 0 bytes in size after you have restarted Windows XP32, and it has fixed the MFT and corrupted file links
The next time a Domino 8.0.1 crashes, I will downgrade it to Domino 8.0.
The next time a Notes 8.0.1 damages my harddisks Master File Table, I will downgrade it to Notes 8.0.
The good news is that Notes and Domino 8.0 also support document and design compression, although you can't set or see them in the database properties. But they can still read and write the databases using compression.
