M4: Drives in Pool labeling issue

SilverRubiconSilverRubicon
edited February 2012 in DrivePool
I recently had to replace one of the drives in my pool due to failure.  On the Pool tab my pool is now listed as:

Pool 1 (Disk 2)
Pool 2 (Disk 1)
Pool 3 (Disk 3)
Pool 4 (Disk 5)
Pool 5 (Disk 5)

with Pool 5 the replacement drive.  Any idea why Disk 5 would be listed for Pool 4 and Pool 5?  In the Disk Management utility, my drives are listed as  D1/P2, D2/P1, D3/P3, D4/P4, and D5/P5.  I've tried renaming my drives within Disk Management, but Pool 4 and Pool 5 are always attached to the same disk inside the WHS dashboard.

    I am also having a similar problem to this. I replaced one of my drives that failed, but when I added the new drive into the pool, I now have two drives labeled (Disk 2). Any ideas on why this happens or if it's an issue?

    I have the same issue, but I am wondering if the is an function of having multiple sata controllers on a motherboard and the port you have it connected to?

    Sounds like a bug. Can you report it to Alex via http://stablebit.com/contact ?

    I managed to resolve this when attempting to solve another issue.  I had to roll back to a previous release as I was not able to write to a duplicated share (Alex has since fixed this), but the process of rolling back solved the problem.  Somewhere in the configuration data, wires were crossed and drives were not labeled correctly.

    So this is what I did (you don't have to rollback, reinstalling ought to fix the problem)...

    1. Uninstall DrivePool.
    2. Delete C:\Program Data\DrivePool (not sure of the exact name).
    3. Reboot.
    4. Reinstall DrivePool
    5. Reboot.
    6. Check the drive assignments/labeling.  Should be ok now.

    You will not lose any data and DP will reconstruct the pool with the existing drives.
