  • We need to fix this. How about moving the pool to \ServerPool ?
  • Quiet the opposite, if I'm not around then I'm tearing my hair out (whatever is left of it) trying to figure something out. Right now I'm trying to get to the bottom of this WHS media streaming implementation that seems to be getting broken at times…
  • Just a small update on this. DrivePool M3 has been taking some time from the Scanner work. I hope to get it out by the end of August.
    in 2011? Comment by Alex August 2011
  • So just to be exact about this issue, let me explain what the problem is and hopefully you will understand what DrivePool does to fix it. Problem: We've had this long running issue where DrivePool would sometimes upper case the entire folder name on…
  • I've read all the suggestions, even if I didn't reply to you personally. I'm starting to see a common theme being requested often. Basically, a way of identifying the drives better. I will give some thought as to how we can do this in an elegant way…
  • Hopefully Drivepool is developed in a manner that allows you to access it's services via your own API's which would make the support of add-ins much easier in the future.   Actually, DrivePool has the capability to expose its services via. WMI ! Thi…
  • Thank you, it's always moving forward and we have a bit more to go. It was never planned and it would be fairly complicated to implement properly. This won't be available in 1.0.
  • This was a very intricate situation. There were actually 2 problems interacting together to cause these errors. I believe that both of these issues are fixed in build 3292, which is out now. The problems are kind of involved, so let me explain what …
  • Not yet. We want to fix all the issues with the the regular folders before venturing into backup territory. Don't forget, this is a beta, please have a backup.
  • Installed NOD32 with the latest internal build. Don't see any issues so far.
  • I think I've got it reproduced. I believe it has to do with some internal privilege management and doesn't actually mean that the file is not found.
  • So what are we really solving by wiping out the metadata? As far as I can tell, we need it for those situations where DrivePool stops working for some reason or other and the user wants a "clean" reinstall. Perhaps we need to offer a "clean re-insta…
  • Perhaps time to put up a bug tracking system? I was never a fan of them. Nothing ever gets fixed, it just gets filed away. However, it would be nice to file this one away
  • 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.
  • 1. As a general rule, whenever a folder on the pool has the same name as an already shared folder on the server, DrivePool renames the folder on the pool to have a unique name (it basically appends a number to it). This has an interesting effect whe…
  • No updates yet. Watch the change log, I will let you know if I need any more info. Sometimes these things take longer. It's just that right now there is an influx of issues that need to be dealt with.
  • Question like this... The remote web access of pooled share will be in the M3 version or in the M4 ? Thanks Remote web access of pooled shares is currently available in M3.
  • @Delboy, Was the library consolidation a built-in function of iTunes, or is that something that you were doing? Was this from a OS X or Windows PC? Basically, I want to re-create this and try to get the error. Edit: Ok, you were probably doing the b…
  • Check your computer management -> disk management. DrivePool uses the Windows API to enumerate available disks / volumes. If you see a disk available, then it should also be visible in disk management. Perhaps you'll have a better idea where it's…
  • DrivePool is not NTFS-based as far as the OS is concerned, so it shouldn't have the same limits (such as cluster size limits to 16 TB or the such). Performance will need to be optimized for this scenario but I don't see why it can't scale. It should…
  • @speedownsie How do you see this working? Would you like to shift-select a bunch of drives and click add?
  • @SilverRubicon: If you're still having trouble with this, send a message @ http://stablebit.com/contact and I'll help you out. I believe the annoying folder upper-case issue is fixed once and for all in build 3262+. Of course it won't change the exi…
  • @thinkhead: Last dump I see is from Aug. 1 Maybe it didn't go through? Upload instructions: http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_System_Crashes
  • Yes. DrivePool has had an issue preserving case across folder names for a while. It should be fixed in build 3262+. Unfortunately, this bug has affected default share migration. You see, apparently WHS recognizes default shares by their name, and it…
  • Yeah, that's possible. There is a distinction between an update uninstall or a full uninstall. However, I'm still not sold on wiping out the metadata without asking the user. It's only a few small files and it seems like other programs leave their s…
  • Too bad... Error starting service is trivial to fix usually. I just need to see the error reports.
  • The problem is, I don't think that you can modify the WHS uninstaller to include a check box.
  • Seems like this is somewhat of a widespread issue that I cannot reproduce. If this is still happening to anyone, let me know. In particular, I'm wondering if this has to do with I/O usage from multiple machines.
  • @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.
  • When I wrote that last message the build number was not finalized. Just to be clear the fix for this issue is in build 3141. However, it's not guaranteed that everyone experiencing this symptom has the same cause. The issue SDWolf was having had to …
