Drivepool create directory access denied

lyzanxia

Hi All,

I'm new to drivepool and am a bit stuck.

Probably my own fault in not understanding the principle of drivepool operation

Anyway, so I create a pool and get driveletter P

I can copy files to the pool, but cannot create a new directory thru explorer (or share) on the P drive, am getting access denied.

Is this by design? If I try to create a directory directly on my drive in the poolpart directory then this works fine.

I would like to allow a program to create directories thru a share on the P drive.

I could bypass this problem by letting the program create directories on my poolpart directory on the disk itself. But what happens if drivepool rebalances files/directorys and decide to move the folders on another disk, then my share would be lost?

Thanks for any help

In the WHS dashboard, make sure your users have read and write access to the folders in your pool

Ok, got it fixed. Delete all disks again from the drivepool, restarted server and started over.

Hmm, no, this is a bug, I'm encountering the same problem since upgrading to 6008 - I can create files but not folders in the DP drive.

Nope, nevermind, forgot to activate that install.
