Missing drive error won't resolve

tombstone

Earlier today, the eSATA enclosure I use turned itself off for some reason. As a result, DrivePool threw a missing disk error. I turned the enclosure back on and rebooted the server, and the drives appeared again, none the worse for the wear. However, the missing drive error in the Dashboard won't clear. I rebooted a couple of more times to be sure, and double and triple checked to make sure all of the drives are present and operating properly. Maybe there's a bug in clearing the missing drive flag under certain circumstances? I don't want to put the error on ignore but I can't think of a way to clear it without completely uninstalling and reinstalling. I'm running build 3785, btw.

Also running 3785 and the "Problem with folder duplication" alert doesn't clear even after fixing the issue and having it fixed for some time...also refreshed the alerts and rebooted a few times.

Perhaps there is an issue clearing alerts, I'll look into it. You can manually clear DrivePool alerts by running in a command prompt on the server:

cd C:\Program Files\Windows Server\Bin\

DrivePool.Commands Notifications.ClearAll

After a drive of mine just died, I couldn't get rid of the missing drive alert, and the folder duplication alert.  I used the command Alex provided (except it's DrivePool.WhsCommands instead) and it cleared the alerts.

Still, it should be an action item for the next release.  Not a huge deal though.
