[AccessD] OT - WHS on Raid

I don't know the details, all I know is that some apps manage to open the
same file at the same time.  Apparently Outlook will for example, but doing
so corrupts the PST.

But shouldn't the OS report that the file is in use and not allow you to
open it if someone else already has it open?  Maybe that's the difference
here, maybe WHS isn't locking the file correctly?

This is actually not a WHS issue as much as it is a "shared file" issue.  It
is getting publicity because WHS is selling and people who did not
understand the issues and tried to share files that simply can't be shared.
For example the Outlook file will corrupt if you share it and try to edit it
from more than one location.  It doesn't matter where you store it (shared)
it will corrupt if stored on Windows XP share or a Windows 3000 share or a
Windows Vista share.  It just isn't legal.  Do yea, "WHS corrupts files",
that is true.  So do all the other OSes if used in this manner.

John,

I don't know anything about WHS, but I saw this and thought it might be
important for you to see:
