  • I tried it again and I came up with the same thing. Any files on the underlying NTFS volume that have been de-duplicated are unreadable through the pool drive. Don't know if this is because of the fact that the actual data is no longer under the Poo…
  • Most likely reason would be that the drives don't have a temperature sensors... (Most SSD drives don't have that since they aren't particularly sensitive to high temperatures unlike mechanical discs with moving parts)
  • @DrashnaDe-duplication and single instance storage is not the same thing.  Single instance storage only looks for identical files while de-duplication looks at the data within files to similar data. NetApp for example uses a 4KB block size and Windo…
  • I created a thread May 5th with the same question never got an answer. What I saw when testing was that it doesn't work since any file that has been de-duplicated will be unreadable through the pool (CoveFS). I don't quite understand what you mean…
  • In normal circumstances you shouldn't have an issue with it however when DrivePool does it re-balancing/drive evacuation/removal it doesn't allow any other apps to write to the file currently being moved between discs. So if you wan't to have always…
  • Dynamic disks are a bad idea. Avoid them when possible. They don't like moving from system to system... As for parity, yes, you save on disk space. But at what cost? Reliability, and up time. Sure, you save space... but if your files are mirrored, …
  • Using parity instead of mirroring (duplication) gives you more usable disc space.In your case you would get 9TB of usable disc using a standard RAID5 parity setup. But only 6TB usable if you using RAID1 /mirroring /duplication. Of course with Drive …
  • Sounds very similar to my setup I have a N36L with a 120GB SSD on the ODD connection and currently it's running with 1,5+1,5+3TB storage and is running Server 2012 doing NAS, seedbox, vm hosting etc. If you need disc redundancy is up to you; if you …
  • First I'd just like to say that I don't know anything But I'm guessing ReFS will not be supported any time soon since it doesn't support Alternate data streams which DrivePool uses currently to store metadata such as duplication counts. So a new "t…
    in ReFS support? Comment by Henrik May 2013
  • Alex, you seem to indicate that the duplication count can be greater than 2. E.g. if my pool contain 4 disks, can I setup duplication to 4 so that a folder is fully available on my 4 disks? I do not find any option to do that in the drivepool UI; is…
  • Hey Alex Is there any way to manipulate the inherit/multiple flags on a folder so that it will start inheriting again? It seems right now that once you've set an explicit duplication level on a folder there is no way to get it to start inheriting fr…
