0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Like a champ. That said, it sounds like you want more technical details. If real time duplication is enabled, the file is written to both disks, and is locked on both disks. This specifically bypasses any issues with file locks. Now, regardless of real time duplication, modifications are done to all copies of the files, also bypassing this issue. Alex and I have ran VMs off of the pool without issues. I store my OutLook PSTs on my pool, as well. So, this is a well tested feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
