M4: Lossing shares on WHS 2011 restart

edited January 2012 in DrivePool
Deceided to take the Plunge last night and give M4 a go. I followed the instructions and the installation was slick. Rebooted the server and saw that the pooled shares had gone. I have since reinstaed them in a number of ways but they still seem to get dropped on a reboot. Read a few posts but none of the suggested solutions seem to have worked for me.

    I'm having the same exact issue. I recreated the share after install, but after each reboot, the shares are gone and I have to recreate. Any fixes for this?

    I have just upgraded to 5421 which in the change log indicates some changes have been made to address this.

    Well as soon as I rebooted the shares have been lost and I have had to manually recreate in 5421. I have then rebooted again to confirm that they have not been retainined. The change log suggested that some changes had been made although the fault was unreproducable at Alex end.

    I have tried redoing the share using the different methods mentioned in the various posts on this subject but the way I do it most often is from the dashbaord... Under server folders I click add folder. I then browse to my pooled drive where all the pooled folders seem to be sitting at the root so I:\dvds etc. The I grant RW access to everyone. The share then remains in place until the next reboot.

    I have also tried a full uninstall and reinstall of DP. Immediatley the shares were made available but were lost again after a reboot?

    Same error here. All Drivepool shares are gone after a reboot. Maybe there is a timinig problem that the shares are established before the Covefs drive comes online?! My WHS Server uses slow hardware (that caused problems with M3 and before).

    My shares come up fine, but I have major hardware overkill.

    When reestablishing a share on the pool (one which will get lost in a restart), the windows event display will show

    It concerns the shadow copy function which is not possible on a pool drive. I don´t know wether this is the cause or just an anticipated side effect.

    Exactly what i thought. I think WIndows try's to create the shares before the Drivepool drives are ready.

    I have 3 different SATA controllers, with a total of 12 drives. So booting ain't fast.

    Maybe a longer timeout or some kind of auto retry could fix this...

    Well the longer timeout would have to be on the windows side and that might not be easy to bring about. Lets see what Alex has to say...

    Have now upgraded to 5472.

    • However removed the add-in first.
    • Rebooted
    • Then in the registry I stripped out any entries left with covefs, I: (My Drivepool virtual drive) and drivepool in
    • Rebooted
    • Installed 5472
    • Rebooted
    • Setup the drivepool shares in the dashboard with everyone full control
    • Rebooted

    But alas the shares have been dumped at reboot again. Any ideas?

    One share, Pictures, is a WHS default share and I remapped this to i:\pictures but on reboot the dashboard showed that the share was missing. Looking at the path it wanted it was looking for i:\serverfolders\pictures

    Is this the issue?

    Alex is working on the problem... Somehow the pool directories are not listed during boot on slow systems so shares are dumped on reboot.

    Thanks for the update. What consitutes a slow system?

    Granted my MB is not the most recent and based on an Intel Core 2 6700@2.7GHz with 4Gb of Ram

    Hmm that is in WHS terms most definitely NOT a slow system :-) Maybe the problem has nothing to do with system performance after all, we will see...

    I'm having exactly the same Issue, My computer is a Athlonx2 2.8 Ghz with 6 gb RAM and running with little CPU and MEMORY.

    Any way we can help to solve the issue?
