So read striping is wicked for reads. It looks like it will pull from multiple disks when transfering. Sounds great to me!
But now the question: What happens when a remote volume or file is modified is saved? For example a mounted VHD or Truecrypt volume mounted remotely, modified, unmounted/committed. The saving/commiting doesnt write the whole volume back - it only writes the modified blocks. How does it know where to store the modifications back to?
Does DrivePool write modified blocks back at the same time to all copies?
I feel this is basic file system functionality 101 and ofcourse DrivePool does this - its late and its possible im not be thinking straight but a second confirmation would be helpful
