  1. I have a question re exclusive shares:

    Are exclusive shares only for shares that reference pools? Or are shares on the array that don't use a (old terminology) cache, and are restricted to a single disk also gain the benefit of transparently bypassing FUSE?

    I have all my music on a share restricted to a single disk in the array, and also have my backup share restricted to a single disk in the array.

    I currently have disk shares enabled to bypass FUSE in situations where I want a little more speed. Eg running a sync from my Windows machine to a share (scan time drops from 4 minutes to 20 seconds when using a disk share while transfer speed is unaffected); or running a media library scan in Logitech Media Server (twice as fast) or Plex (time drops from a few minutes to a few seconds).

    It would be great if shares restricted to a single disk would automatically bypass FUSE and get the speed benefits.

    This way I can just reference the "user" share directories (rather than direct disk) and in the future if either share fills up the single disk and I allow it to use another disk I don't have to worry about making sure that I've updated all my scripts and shortcuts to reference "user" shares instead of "disk" shares - the share will just start using FUSE transparently.

    Thanks for your input!

    Good call, I've looked into it some and know there is a point where the Samsung drives will throttle due to temp so wanted some extra cooling anyway.

    I heard that the NAND chips run better hot, so you shouldn't add heatsinks (which is why they don't come with them in the first place).
