Hello,
I have already created a Synapse Workspace and would like to create another one.
Is it possible to share the same Primary ADLS Gen 2 and Filesystem, or there can be conflicts?
Thanks

@silvanop-4597 It won't cause any issues. Also, regarding your second ask - The file system is used as the default warehouse location for any tables created and stored in the Metastore. It’s also used as a temporary location by the DW connector to extract data.

@SilvanoP-4597 I am able to create two synapse workspaces with same primary ADLS Gen2 account. I do not see any issues there in terms of the data stored by the system, each workspace has a different path prefix and so should be fine from that perspective. There might be other considerations that I may have missed.
Thanks for quick Answer!
I know that there should not be any issue, but was just wandering since we specify the same ADSL Gen 2 account and the same filesystem, if Synapse uses the filesystem, as a temp area, and if having the same could have caused issue.
So the question is what is the file system of the ADLS Gen 2 account used for?
Thanks again
@silvanop-4597 I will check internally with the products team and get back to you on your ask.
@silvanop-4597 Could you please provide a concrete example of what temp area usage the you are referring to ? As mentioned earlier as each workspace has a different path prefix it should be fine.
Hi,
thanks for your feedback.
When creating a Synapse Workspace you need to specify an ADLS Gen 2 and a filesystem. I'm referring to the filesystem if two workspace shares the same ADLS Gen2 and filesystem could this cause issues. I'm not sure what is the usage of the file system for. I thought it was used as a temp area for synapse, did you check internally?
Thanks
