[Leica] Questions about using NAS with LR

[Spencer Cheng]

The synchronization of multiple master copy problem can be solved in specific cases but not recommended for general use. I concur with Brian. Don’t do it.

Why? Because you have do do active bi-directional synchronization between all the local master copies on each computer plus your NAS. If these bi-directional synchronization fails (H/W or S/W) while in progress, it will be messy to recover from.
