[Gate-users] Attach source to repeated volume

[David Sarrut]

Hello Debora,

exact, source attached to volume do not work with repeated copies. This is
something that should/could be implemented. If you intend to do so, be
careful to be very clear to the purpose of such a feature.

repeater do not work either on source.

Regarding your application, it could also be more direct/specific to
implement a new source type.

Sincerely,
David
