GeoDrive questions

Hello,

I'm trying out GeoDrive on a Linux client server and after getting everything installed and working I'm left with a couple of questions.

1.  When I store a file on my geodrive mount I end up with three copies, the original one lets say /root/file1, the one on the geodrive mount lets call it /geodrive1/file1 and one in cache which would be /var/local/geodrive/.../cache/file1.  Even after waiting a few hours, I don't see the file being stubbed, at least, it's still taking up the same amount of space. 

This is my geodrive's mount point's config:

The way I thought it would work is you copy a file to your geodrive mount and in 30 seconds that file would be uploaded to the Atmos server and the file in cache would be stubbed after 45 seconds.

2. I created a geodrive mount, stored a file on it, confirmed that the file was copied to the atmos server, then I removed my geodrive.  Next I checked the atmos server and the file was still there.  So, I thought I'd be able to access it again by making another geodrive drive with the same information.  But when i did that I no longer see file1.  I copied file2 to the new geodrive and it went to the storage, so now I have file1 and file2 on the storage, but I can only see file2 on the geodrive.  Shouldn't I be able to see anything i have in storage?  What if I want to upload/download the same files from different servers?  I'm sure I'm missing something here.

Anyway, if anyone can help with these questions I'd really appreciate it.  I think I'm just missing something in the configuration somewhere but I'm unsure where to look.

Thanks!
