Mounting Azure Drive

Question

We have an Azure drive with certain files that are used very frequently for data get operations.

For mounting drive , we use following code block:

  try
                {
                    driveLetter = objdrive.Mount(100, DriveMountOptions.None);                    
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    driveLetter = objdrive.Mount(100, DriveMountOptions.Force);
                }

Here we forcefully mount drive in case of any exception.

Question1:

So if multiple instances are hitting same method for mounting drive at run time, Will the drive mounted by previous instances will be available to it?

Question2:

Is there any performance impact or limitation on mounting drive to access a particular file for a very frequent operation by multiple instance calls?

Please guide.

Hi,

You can only mount a single writeable copy from a Drive storage, but you can mount multiple read-only snapshots form this Drive. I think you can make a judgement to check if Drive has been mounted.
Another question is about Azure Drive Performance, sorry i can not find any offcial documentions mentions this topic, you can contact our support team for more helps.
