device. On the other hand, if the Remote-side operating system tries to write data to the redirected
device, the drive cache of the Host’s operating system might contain older data.
Because the operating systems are not aware that the drive is being redirected, they could try to
write data at the same time and therefore cause error messages to pop up. We therefore
