Everything and NAS questions
Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2019 4:16 pm
Hello,
Everything! is essential part of my everyday workflow, I literally can't live without it. I currently use a Windows NAS with NTFS drives that shares data over SMB3 and has Everything! running as a service. On my Windows laptop, I have a separate instance of Everything! connected to the Everything! server of NAS.
I am building a new NAS, and leaning towards Linux. I am planning to share contents of 2x or 3x HDDs over SMB3, these drives obviously won't be NTFS.
On my Windows laptops, I will access the contents of NAS as folders, without mounting them as external drives. My laptop will be the only device which has access to NAS.
If I add the folders in Everything! and check "attempt to monitor changes", under the described circumstances, will my experience degrade? How reliable is "attempt to monitor changes" function? Does it even work on drives with filesystems different than NTFS or ReFS?
