So far WDS has proven to be fairly stable, but there are people who claim to have seen mysterious crashes every now and then. Now my question: if I was to implement a method in WDS that allows me to get a crash dump (or call it “snapshot”) of WDS at the moment of the crash, would the users be willing to send that information or not?
Yes, there may be sensitive information included in that it might also contains file or folder names. Otherwise no sensitive data will be transmitted. Windows Error Reporting (WER), which is part of Windows at least since XP does the same in a semi-transparent way to Microsoft (and commercial third-party vendors through Microsoft’s WinQual).
I want your thoughts.
Thanks,

If you implement a solution which would ask for permission before sending information, then I’m suree you’d get some crash reports.
Those who don’t like to send information can say “no”, and that’s about it.
Agree with Jan. Never had it crashing though.
What? And you will see where I hide all my pr0n?
Nevermind if you make it like WER. Keep up the good work!
It would at least be useful for sending reports from test systems. Data privacy reasons make it questionable for production environments.
Anything as long as it helps a new version to come out !
For me it would be a case by case basis as my company does deal with sensitive information, but I do appreciate the importance of sending debug info when possible.
I can see how this would be an issue for people like Tim.
Just a thought, perhaps if you limit the ability to submit a report to administrators only. I assume most workers in a company like that would only have standard accounts, so only people who know what they are doing will have access to it.
Apologies if my idea is complete nonsense.
Agree with first comment. No problems to report if you ask permission before.
One questions about new version - can it correctly count size for _hardlinks_? (as far as i know, softlinks correcty counted in old version, but hardlinks - not, it counts all of them separately)
