September 5, 20241 yr Is it possible to somehow surface the disk number where a file resides through a user share, perhaps as a file attribute? I ask because I don't follow a very structured storage approach and I have similar types of files scattered across drives. There are situations where I need to hash files that reside on my user shares, but I can only use one hasher so I don't thrash disks. It would be nice if I could read what disk a file resides on before determining what to do with it. The only way I can think to do this is not use user shares and instead access disk shares directly which is not ideal. Anyways, just a thought and was wondering if this was possible, perhaps with a user script to write an attribute that is accessible via SMB. I'm no expert though.
