October 22, 200619 yr I'm trying to organise the files on my unRaid server to take advantage of the User Shares. What will happen if I have the same file name in the same folder name (but on different drives, obviously)? For example: Disk 1: \DVDs\StarWars.iso, and Disk 2: \DVDs\StarWars.iso When I try to access or list these files, what will happen?
October 22, 200619 yr I can see this in my logs as I have duplicates already. It seems it keeps the first one found and does not link to any others after that. If you have duplicates, rescanning shares and watching the syslog will tell you where they reside.
October 23, 200619 yr What about if you have 2 unRAID servers? How will it handle is example... server1/disk1/phish/whateverinhere.mp3 server2/disk2/phish/howboutthis.mp3 Will it actually create just a dir of Phish which both servers will populate??

User Shares don't span servers. So you'll end up with server1/phish and server2/phish which will have different contents.
October 23, 200619 yr hypyke and smeehrr are both exactly right. Regarding duplicates - first implementation created additional files with "synthesized" file names for duplicates. In sonofdbn's example would have created: \DVDs\StarWars.iso, and \DVDs\disk2 StarWars.iso Problem with this is that I was afraid of a huge number of file entries overflowing available inode space in the ram-disk file system. Regarding multiple servers - this is something we've been playing around with. There will be some "experimental" features in upcoming releases.
