Is "Duplicated" amount that is shown on the main UI screen under "Manage Pool" equal to total amount used by duplicated files, so if all duplicated files are 2x then actual file space is half that?
For example, if I specify 5TB of data to be duplicated 2x, then the "Duplicated" value should read 10TB?
Also, I'm trying to wrap my head around how file duplication works. A duplicated file is seen as a single file by Windows.
Let's say I have a hard drive that dies, motor stops, head crash with platter, whatever (god forbid, please no).
If I pulled a drive from the machine and hooked it up to another Windows PC, will I be able to see/copy/move those duplicated files?
After a drive crash, will it start to automatically duplicate those files again with the remaining good drives?
