All,From my research on TechNet and MSDN I have found that SQL Server 2014 can be installed on an SMB share. This installation would support system and user databases being located on the SMB share. What I have a question on is whether SMB 2.1 will support this installation.My current problem is that I have a SQL 2014 instance installed on a Server 2008 R2 machine with system and user databases being hosted on an SMB share. The share is located on a Server 2008 R2 machine. At least once a week the application that uses this database instance becomes inoperable due to lost connectivity with the database. A restart of the SQL instance service on the host machine brings everything back up and online, but it is becoming an inconvenience to have to verify every morning that the application is still up and running. We are looking into a scheduled task to restart the service when a certain event ID is logged on the system, but we would like to figure out the root cause of this issue. I am not a DBA but am responsible for ensuring the application stays up and running. I have enough SQL experience to be dangerous. Any help is appreciated and if you require more information please let me know.
