Missing files after drive failure

hellerbrewing

If I decide to move my movies to the pool without duplication and a drive fails, is there an easy way to tell which files were on the disc that failed so I can re-rip them to the server?

Hmm. Not one built into DrivePool, as far as I know. If your movie pool doesn't change much, you could regularly dump the directory tree to a file elsewhere, and then if a drive fails, do another dump and compare the two to find the missing files?

Something like:

dir \\server\pool /s /b >c:\tree-before-fail.txt  <--- do this after you add movie(s)

dir \\server\pool /s /b >c:\tree-after-fail.txt  <--- do this after drive fails

fc /L c:\tree-before-fail.txt c:\tree-after-fail.txt >c:\missing-files.txt  <--- find out what you lost
