Hi All

The latest star-wind allow the LSFS Metadata to be held on the disk instead of the RAM. Can you please clarify the following?
Is this data required? or can the drive be rebuilt if it is lost. (IE should it be stored on said protected hardware and backed up?)
Should this metadata be stored on flash drive or is spinning disks good enough?

Also there appears to be a over site with the metadata settings. if you create one drive with the metadata on disk and then you create a HA replication node. The additional nodes do not save the metadata to disk.

Meta data should be stored on flash drives. If it is lost - it will be rebuilt automatically, but it takes more time to mount.
