If the mount has somehow failed, I need a way to quickly detect and report an error, however File.Exists and Directory.Exists are taking 30 seconds to return false when the mount goes away. What is the best way to quickly determine if a mount is available i...

So I've got a Samba share located on server A. I have that share mounted to two other servers, B and C. The idea is that B and C need to write temporary files to a single location so that multiple background processing jobs (also running on B and C) have access to the same pool of files. When the background processes are complete they ...

There's more than one file system Most version control tools operate on the local disk file system. Database objects for most relational database systems do exist in a file system, inasmuch as there is a textual name identifying the object and the creation script can be retrieved or at least generated using this name. But it isn't th...
