Junction points on Drivepool vs. Physical Disks?

[fattipants2016]

Is there any functional difference between creating a junction point on the Drivepool drive letter itself, vs. placing it on the physical disk directly?

I don't like that their placement does not follow file placement rules, and I don't trust junction points existing on removable disks in case they fail to connect on a reboot.

 

For instance,

mklink /j E:\Downloads D:\Downloads (Where E:\ is Drivepool)

vs

mklink /j C:\drivepool\phsyicaldiskone\poolpart.6sdas68x4a65s4d6a\Downloads D:\Downloads  (Where C:\Drivepool\Physicaldiskone is... physical disk one)

 

I'm not trying to blow stuff up, but if it's all the same I'd like to dictate where the junction points get physically created.

Nevermind, it breaks things. It breaks them bad.

 

Drivepool didn't respect the existing junction point, and created a folder with the same name, in the same location.

 

Needless to say, Windows did not like this one bit nor did I.

 

Don't be like me.
