Status of BETA M3

Alex · July 2011

Around $20 - $30 USD. Similar price as the Scanner.

The M4 changes might be rolled into a separate "Pro" version depending on the final performance numbers.

Is the binary being released today?

mqualizza · July 2011

rubenhak · July 2011

Wow!! that's a good news that its released!!

what kind of issues you got?

Alex · July 2011

It's out!

It was a ton of work. I really appreciate all the kind sentiments and the encouragement that I've received from all the beta testers. I hope we can make this live up to people's expectations.

This is not the end, but just a beginning of a beautiful thing...

rubenhak · July 2011

Alex, thank you for making this happen!

However, I have some troubles. Immediately after upgrading to M3 I cannot access my shares from remote computer anymore. I see those shares, but I get an error when I try to open them. Tried a restart, but it didn't help.

Alex · July 2011

Check the permissions on the folders to make sure they got migrated properly. If not, just reset them.

What's the error exactly?

I checked share permission and those look like to be fine.

Alex could you provide instructions of how to properly setup permissions?

Can't recall the error message exactly, will post exact screen shot by the end of today. It looks like to be permission denied error.

Simply select the folder in the Dashboard's DrivePool tab and click View the folder properties, then go to the Permissions tab.

Make sure the user permissions are set properly.

rubenhak · July 2011

Yeah, those permissions are set properly but still cannot access any shares....

Alex · July 2011

Lets do remote access support. Can you open a case @ http://stablebit.com/contact

Those are errors I seen in log file:

Hi Rubenhak and Alex,

Was there any updates on this issue? I was having the same problem after upgrading to M3. Folder permissions seem to be set correctly and M2 was working fine. Even creating new shares gave me the same error.

Trying it today though, I can access the shares, but no files are shown. Going to "c:\ServerPool\ServerFolders.Mount\" and accessing the shares there show the data correctly.

Thanks for your time!

EDIT: A simple restart of the service has taken care of the missing files. Not sure why my permissions bug was magically fixed though!

EDIT2: Missing files problem keeps on coming back. Also viewing the shares from any computer other than my laptop gives the permissions error:

"\\FILESERVER\Videos refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have moved to a different location"

Non-pooled shares work fine.

Yeah i think thats a good idea to pay a little extra for a few bells and whistles! :-). Personally Im only using drivepool to pool my HD Movies for my WDTV. BUT....i will certainly buy the pro version regardless of whether i need those extra features.Its the least i can do in return for you guys making WHS2011 a pleasure to use

Hi Rubenhak and Alex,

Was there any updates on this issue?

...

Non-pooled shares work fine.

I haven't seen a consistent case for disappearing shares. Every case seems to be unique and involves external factors, like another app.

I'd like to help you. Can you please open a support case @ http://stablebit.com/contact if you haven't done already.

If it's ok with you, I'd like to log into your server and take a look at the situation. I will provide instructions.

samwelnella · July 2011

I've already opened a support case. Remotely accessing my server is no problem.

outrun · July 2011

I've found an issue, not sure if it's been encountered before.

I had a 2tb drive in a pool with the Videos folder moved to it. I had a bit more than 120gb of data in the pool. I added a 120gb drive to the pool and turned on duplication. Obviously I got an error about not enough space for duplication during pool updating. I have an error in the Alert viewer saying there is at least one file in a duplicated folder that is not duplicated. I tried turning off duplication on the folder but the error won't clear even after a refresh.

Will the error clear?

Alex · July 2011

@outrun you should see an unhealthy drive in the drives list. Complete the repair wizard to clear the error.

outrun · July 2011

Alex

I used the wizard as soon as I saw the error but it's still there. I also rebooted and refreshed again. Both drives report healthy.

Alex · July 2011

Is the drive being listed as Unhealthy in the drives list, or is it just that the WHS notification is there but all the drives are being listed as healthy?

outrun · July 2011

The drives did say unhealthy... and the WHS notification(Alert Viewer) said there was an error. I did as the error said, Select the unhealthy drive and click the repair task on the right.

The drives are both listed as healthy now, but the error remains.

I was going to remove the pool and try to replicate the error.

outrun · August 2011

I had the error happen again. I deleted a folder full of video files from the duplicated videos folder. I got an error about files not duplicated and after running the repair tool, the error remains.

Alex · August 2011

@outrun, I think there's a subtle issue with file health verification... I have an appointment to have a look at this tomorrow on a live machine with the issue. We'll probably have a fix out in a few days.

outrun · August 2011

Alex

Yeah, I was able to recreate it several times. I also noticed something weird. On a Win7 client I wasn't able to see the contents of a shared folder(Videos -pooled)... even as I was copying to the folder.

Can't wait for the final product (but don't rush it! : Got my new server started and most of the hardware is up and running.

:-)

Solarnet · August 2011

I'd like to see the server for that one........................

thinkhead · August 2011

Question like this...

The remote web access of pooled share will be in the M3 version or in the M4 ?

Thanks

Britgeezer · August 2011

Previous WHS user.

Got my copy of WHS 2011 at the w/e and shortly after installation started looking for an application to pool drives. I like the fact that Drivepool is dedicated for WHS and I have been working with M3 for 2 days now, I must say I'm liking it so far.

I have all my data and stuff (5TB) backed up on 2 external drives for now just in case there is a hiccup

I saw a thread about showing drive letters or not, how else will we easily identify which physical disk has become suspect and needs to be replaced? I normally run with 8 SATA drives in my server, its the max for my MB without an add in card.

Many thanks for your efforts!

Now back to the threads to see what I can learn.

Remote web access of pooled shares is currently available in M3.

Howdy, Stranger!
