Does StableBit DrivePool respect NTFS file and folder permissions beyond the share level?

[jamohamo]

If I create a pool and share it at the top level and then have folders underneath that top level share will the different NTFS permissions on each subfolder and file be enforced? This is to be used in a domain environment where flexible security is very important. Some other solutions only enforce the top level NTFS and share permissions on all subfolders and files and ignore any subsequent NTFS permissions.

Thanks.

Yes, absolutely.

If you're using the 1.3 version in WHS2011 (or SBS2011E, or WSS2k8R2E), then you'd have to "manually" set it outside of the pool. But otherwise, you can set the permissions to whatever you want (as long as you don't mess with the SYSTEM settings).
