I've never even heard of this product.
I've known it for years. @Mike-Davis uses it heavily and I've worked with him on it, for example.

This is from their documentation:
Each deployment must have at least one Master Filer. (By default, all filers are masters and maintain their own security and configuration. When you add a subordinate, you must specify the master that will manage it.)
Nothing In their V7 documentation list as far as I can tell what is the master.

Yeah get rid of this product immediately.
Because you know what?

Their immediate support response and the lack of useful documentation on how to actually use the product.

You have a support contract with them or something?

Sounds like they all start as master. So is multi-master out of the gate.

I wasn't/aren't. I went to their website, opened the support chat and asked the most basic question "is there a way to identify what host is master, is it with an asterisk" and they said "Are you a paying customer" to which I said "no" to which they said "have the paying customer call or email support"

I see. Well that's pretty normal. I assume that this means that their product keeps running even when out of support.

Normal, yes. But also disappointing.

Fucking what?
I'm sorry but I'm not going to pay an employee to deal with random non paying people wanting support. THat's expensive.
