I've just set up a site with DFS to keep the media folders in sync. This seems to be working as expected, however there is one strange behavior that I can't seem to figure out why is happening.
Whenever I go to the media section and upload a file, the browser will just keep waiting and waiting for a response. It never seems to get it. In the mean time, the actual file has been replicated to the other server, and if I navigate away from the page, then I can see that it has been added to umbraco as I wanted. But it just seems strange that it hangs like that.
Might this be cause by DFS locking up the file in some way? Is there a way to tell DFS to not touch new files for the first few seconds?
Any pointers on debugging this would be much appreciated.
Using DFS causes hang when uploading files
Hey everyone.

Actually, it looks like I also get this "hang" when I just save en existing "file" node in the media section. With no changes to the file.
DFS = Distributed File System??
(sorry for not being particularly helpful, but perhaps someone else can, when they find out what DFS stands for ;-))
Yes :-) DFS is Microsofts Distributed File System
Turns out this issue is not caused by DFS, but internally in umbraco
