[quote="leo"]Opus would not copy differently in those situations unless the drive is misreporting its type when mapped to a letter.
Setting Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced: copy_nonbufferio_threshold to 0 (zero) should remove the only possible difference in how Opus might copy the data between using a drive letter and a UNC network path.
(But if the drive letter is reported as a network drive, the setting should make no difference at all, because non-buffered I/O is never used with network paths. Some devices do mis-report, though.)[/quote]
Hello Leo.
It seems your parting shot "Some devices do mis-report, though." Might be true.
I tried to set up four huge copy actions, between three different servers (Synology DS2411+, DS1513+, and an ancient Netgear ReadyNAS Duo) and my windows 7x64 machine (64bit Dopus installed), and it all just froze after the first copy started between the two Synology devices.
I killed the Dopus.exe process, restarted Dopus, and set the value mentioned above to "0"...
...and it seems to be working ok. In fact, it seems thus far to be great!
If you don't mind, I'll keep an eye on this over a few reboots of the Win7 PC and the servers for the next few days and see how things go?
But for now - please accept a huge THANK YOU as I can finally use Dopus again for network operations!
