  • That sounds suspiciously like the Alternate Data Stream (ADS) loss/corruption issue that WHSv1 had in the early builds.  I think DrivePool made some ADS adjustments a couple builds ago.  What version are you running now?
  • I would think the safest thing would be for DrivePool to assign the pool to the last available letter (usually Z) by default, since that rules out any possibility of the pool drive letter getting 'bumped' by the addition/removal of physical drives. …
  • The answer to this is really quite simple: When It's Readyâ„¢. I would very much rather have a stable and complete product than one that's rushed out the door.  That said, I've found DrivePool's beta releases to be remarkably stable and pleasant…
  • He just tweeted a little while ago.  He's hard at work on M4. 
  • Sans digital enclosure?   Running Stablebit Scanner as well? Digital Enclosure?  Not sure, but no.  Also no Scanner. 
  • Wow.  Seriously, wow.I clicked this thread expecting to see instructions comprised of a wall of text, and perhaps a tale of woe or two, considering how painful reconstructing a RAID (or even a WHSv1 pool) can be.  Instead, this has been a really ple…
  • Hmmm....I have Lights-Out set to suspend (not hibernate- takes too long to wake) the server after 20 minutes.I have it monitoring WHS clients, remote access, a process (lame.exe, so it doesn't fall asleep while ripping an audio CD), the console sess…
  • My apologies for dredging up an old thread, but has there been any progress on this issue yet?  As of build 4074, client backups are still failing on my server.  I haven't yet found a way to work around it.
  • I've been running Lights-Out with DrivePool for some time, and haven't had any issues so far.  What are your Lights-Out monitoring settings?Also, do you have Lights-Out set to Stop/Resume the DrivePool services?  I know that it would stop and resume…
  • Trying to configure Lights-Out and just want to consult what would be the best way to configure it. Should I mark DrivePool services to stop or restart whenever system goes into standby or wakes up respectively? No, you don't need to have Lights-Ou…
  • Mstd.exe does not exist anywhere on my server.  A quick Google search didn't reveal much about it, though it might possibly be malware.
  •  You may (and perhaps should) defragment each disk in the pool separately. The files on the pool will be optimized that way. I just use the stock defragmenter in Windows on the individual drives, scheduled once a week, about an hour before the auto…
  • I found a workaround for the backup service startup issues.  I set the startup for the "Client Computer Backup Provider" and "Client Computer Backup" services to Delayed Start.  This helps ensure that DrivePool (startup is set to Automatic) is up an…
  • This doesn't really surprise me, considering DrivePool creates something akin to a directory junction on your OS drive that redirects to the pool.  Most drive tools (and most of Windows' internals, for that matter) don't even realize that a redirect…
  • Looks like this resolved the issues I was having with the My Movies disk copier.  Thanks!
  • DVD ISO rips perform beautifully.BD ISO rips... not so much.  Menus work just fine, but playback of the movie proper tends to skip and buffer quite a bit.  I'm using the combination of Windows Media Center, TotalMedia Theater 5, My Movies, and Virtu…
  •  Now that the drive health issues were addresses in 3262, I'm going to look at this next. Since it's the same file that's failing, perhaps long path related? I will test that as well. In my case, it's not always the same file that fails, as these a…
  • I'm having similar issues with random File Not Found errors.I've found that the easiest way for me to reproduce this is to use the My Movies add-in's Music Disc Copier- the copy process will fail when the copier encounters a file not found error whe…
  • After running into a few other (not DrivePool related) issues, I've wiped the server and done a clean reinstall.  DrivePool is running quite smoothly now.  Perhaps something just got corrupted somewhere along the line during M2, or maybe going from …
  • Okay, since sending you the logs, I've got it up and running again.  I uninstalled DrivePool, rebooted, reinstalled DrivePool, rebooted again, and now I'm back at square one: the folders created with M2 are visible as shares, both on the server and …
  • Stopping and restarting the service didn't help.  In fact, now DrivePool isn't working at all.Both DrivePool services appear to be running in the Services console, but now the Dashboard plugin only shows a message that says "Error starting service."…
