bitlocker confusion

[bobfornowt]

bit confused about the advice on how to use drivepool with bitlocker. The advice is to set BitLocker_PoolPartUnlockDetect to TRUE and then rename the DrivePool.Service.exe.default.config file to DrivePool.Service.exe.config. Why is this? is the default file not actually used?

Also what does this setting actually do? thanks.

No, the default file is not actually used. 

 

Specifically, we update the default config files with the newest version, so that if we add any new settings, it will be included. However, we don't touch the normal config file (so that we don't break your setup). 

 

Basically, the default file is the template to use for this.
