Moving Shares out of a drivepool pool

rmeitzler

Hello,

I currently have all my shares on my WHS2011 system in the drivepool (Drive P).  I wanted to move a couple of them out of the pool and I am not able to do so.

I moved them all into the pool with the dashboard "Move the folder" on the Server Folders tab.  This worked great.

I tried to use that to move the folders back out of the pool and it comes up with an error:

   The following file is in use or cannot be moved: \\?\P:\ServerFolders\Public. Ensure that all the files in the folder are closed then try again.

There is nothing (that I know of) that has any of these files open, and I tired other shares with the same problem.  Is DrivePool keeping these open so I can't move them?  How can I move these out of the pool?

Thanks

Shane

Hi, do you get the same result if you try to move a shared folder that isn't in the pool?

You can also use the Resource Monitor that comes with WHS2011 (Start button, type Resource Monitor) to see what files are open and by what processes.

Hi Shane, Thanks for the response.

If I move a shared folder outside of the pool it moves fine.  No problems.  It only seems to be shared folders within the pool.

I also looked at the Disk section of the Resource Monitor and saw nothing open in any of the shares or as best I could tell any of the disk drives that are in the shares.

Hmm. Have you tried forcing a Drivepool consistency check? If that doesn't help, I would suggest reporting it as a potential bug via the stablebit.com contact form.

How do you force a Drivepool consistency check?

UPDATE: Hmm, seems I have fixed it.

I had Drive Bender installed on my machine from evaluating it earlier and decided I would remove that to see if it was conflicting somehow with DrivePool.  That seems to have fixed the issue.  There must be something that interacts between the two that causes this issue, don't know what it is.
