If you are running steam off a portable drive, it is most likely
fat32. Also, people running multiple operating systems still
generally will have at least one fat32 partition for compatibility
reasons.

I do not believe autoupdate works with Windows server and I'm the only one
that runs the updates.

Have you checked your currect version? If its different then I posted, delete
your clientregistery.blob and try again. Otherwise, keep wondering how it
updated by itself :D

Well you're on the right content versions, so I wouldn't worry too much.
The only way that could have happened is if you updated and forgot that you
updated.

Servers don't have a clientregistry.blob file.

The update came out after I was in bed last night so it didn't update unless
by some miracle autoupdates are suddenly working on Windows servers.

So what's the ClientRegistry.blob in /home/servers/.steam folder then?
They do have it.

I always convert fat32 to NTFS on portable drives. I transfer or backup files
that are over 4GB all the time, can't do that with a fat32. Fat32 fragments
much more than NTFS, has many other features missing. No Windows server should
be running on a fat32 partition for security reasons alone, not
There is no reason FAT32 would be less secure than NTFS.
The built-in security permissions of NTFS are pointless, and the OS can ignore
them at any time.
The only "security" NTFS has is encryption, which no one uses, is weak compared
to non-file system-based methods, and in general is a pointle
I remember a while ago one of our "certified" techs bragging about how
bullet proof his box was because he was using ntfs. At the time I kept a DOS
boot disk with me that had ntfs drivers on it so I could boot from floopy
and still access ntfs partitions. It took less then five minutes to wipe t
Truth.
Filesystems are only as good as the drivers driving them.
I daresay though that most of the "NTFS rocks" comments are those that
haven't used a *NIX system with items such as Reiser/XFS and ext4 ;)

LOL none of my servers or my customer servers have a floppy drive!!
Security is not just one thing it is layers of protection which include
locking up the servers in a secure room, NTFS permissions, real password
settings, layered firewalls, etc. Like I tell my customers, the only
truly safe system
The bottom line is that there are a million ways to make any server
insecure, and a million more ways to make a windows server insecure.
ntfs will help with security if and only if your users are set up with
only the permissions they should have, and only if your server is not
able to be access
Does this conversation really belong in the HLDS mailing list? Seems liek it
would be more appropriate for a computer security mailing list.

It doesn't belong here, nor does it have anything to do with security.
I will continue to correct some flat out incorrect information though.
FAT32 corruption has nothing to do with the drivers implementing it - it's a
fundamental weakness of a file allocation table based file system. 99% of t
If your games servers are hacked, me and my customers could get more
spam and/or other types of attacks. If you run a server you should at
least try to keep it secure. With FAT32 it doesn't even slow anyone
down, at least with NTFS it will take a little time and I should get
notified that someone i
