Functionality while service stopped?


JazzMan

Question

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a forum post or wiki faq.

 

While stopping and starting the Stablebit service to move files around, I noticed my pool drive letter was still available.  What functionality is in the service versus elsewhere?  What can i do safely to the pool drive with the service off?  Is the service just for balancing?

 

EG, with the service stopped;

If I rename a file or folder on the pool, do all copies get renamed?

If I copy a file to the pool, does it get duplicated?

 

Version 2.x

The pool driver and the service are two entirely separate, but connected parts. 

 

There is no issue with using the pool while the service is stopped.   The pool driver handles real time duplication and follows the real time placement limiters set by the balancing system.  

 

So yes, you can rename or copy files to the pool, and it is handled 100% properly.
