[REQ] Set "Drive Path" for same physical Disk Driv

Post by *Balderstrom »

Is this to be expected at all? Currently (that I know of) the only way to tell TC which drives reside on the same physical disk - is if the partition has a drive letter assignment.
Perhaps something like \Drive Label\, which could be grouped among given drive letters.

Not sure if I understand...
You mean if mount points for two partitions of the same disk are e.g.

hdd0 partition a is mounted as C:\
hdd0 partition b is mounted to D:\partitionB\mount\point\

And you wan't to set that C:\ and D:\partitionB\mount\point\ are on the same phisical disk?

If this is the case, I support it.

Support.

Makes sense to be able to set 'volumes' as beeing on the same HD just like partitions.

@ Frenky
Yes, I've started organizing my drives with mountpoints, the plan was to not give very many even a drive letter, and to "mount" access to them from the root of C...
But I've realized a flaw in this when it comes to TC - it will think every file on the system is on the same drive.
