I've noticed that I fairly often run into a situation where if I rename a file on a network share, it's very slow to reflect the name change on other clients on the network. Is this a normal situation with DrivePool? It's definitely not normal with any other Windows share that I've ever had. So for instance:
rename a file on client 1
client 2, if it has the same folder open at that time, doesn't reflect tihs change. In fact, I'm not sure how long, if ever, it will reflect the change. Refreshing the folder doesn't update the file name. It seems like I have to leave the folder (up a level for instance) and then re-enter to get the file name change to be reflected.
I currently have the windows indexer on the server disabled, although I've never seen the indexer be responsible for this kind of behavior before. At a guess, Windows isn't being informed of the change, so cached values are sent to other clients until an operation that forces an explicit re-read happens.
