What Will Happen If Disk With Share Will Die?

Hi!

 

What will happen if disk with share will die or I'll unmount disk with share on one node?

Will it delete files from other nodes?

Assuming it's not your primary disk that fails (i.e. where Sync's application data/database is stored), and it's is another drive/partition that fails, Sync won't delete corresponding files from other nodes. In Sync on the device that's failed you'll simply see a warning that the folder cannot be read/accessed.

 

Obviously, if it's your primary disk that's failed, you'll loose your Sync settings/database, and will have to re-install Sync then and add your folders back to it with their original secrets. This will cause the folders to re-index, but assuming their contents haven't changed since they were last "synced", no files will transfer between devices, or be deleted from other devices.
