Im fairly sure this will work but I'd like to get confirmation before I dive into the world of Unraid, I want to run an application on the actual unraid server, I just want to make sure that the parity drive notices the files that are being created by the application. So basically, does unraid only work (redundancy-wise) If you send files to the server via SMB or will it work if you run an application on the server itself?

 

Thanks in advance,

either way...

Any write to a protected drive in the array has parity updated.
