Solved: BitLocker and metadata pinning

[RottenBit]

When BitLocker is enabled on the clouddrive, does metadata pinning work? I've copied hundreds of thousands of files and "Pinned" is just using 336 KB, regardless of cache size. Last time I copied the same files without BitLocker, metadata pinning used a few GBs.

I'd have to double check, but I believe that yeah, it wouldn't pin as much data, since it's not able to read/parse as much of the data.  That basically, it would only get the partition info, and would pin only that data.

Did you get to double check on this? Although I agree it makes sense it wouldn't get to pin the data.

Also, do you know if BitLocker affects the uploading? Using Expandable as the cache type, I copied a lot of data, small files to large files, to the drive and it wouldn't start uploading until I paused the copying. When I resumed, upload went to 0 mbit again. And if I forced the cache to be Fixed or Proportional, it would only start to upload when it reached the cache limit.

Sorry, I didn't, yet.  Have now:

No, it wouldn't really affect uploading.

Sounds like this is https://stablebit.com/Support/CloudDrive/Manual?Section=I/O Performance#Upload Threshold

No, pinning wouldn't work for the volumes on the disk, because of how BitLocker Encryption works. 

So, it would pin the partition information, but not the volume (what you see and use).

Thanks for the response from you and Alex, appreciate it.
