  • There was a small bug there. Fixed. Thanks,
  • Other is supposed to be everything else, such as un-pooled files and NTFS metadata. Based on your description it might not be calculated correctly? I'll have a look.
  • I've player around with this for a while and it relies on an undocumented (as far as I can tell) flag on the file system. I've tried enabling it and got the NFS tab to show up. However when setting up the NFS share you get a strange error message fr…
  • Lee, When the folders are not accessible from the streamer, can you access them from a computer on the network? What do you see in the Dashboard, are the folders still visible there? Are the permissions on the folders in the Dashboard displayed as e…
  • DrivePool does not remove the metadata that describes your pool when you remove the add-in. It's essentially the same as a program keeping its user settings after an uninstall so that when you reinstall it, your settings are preserved. For DrivePool…
  • Hmm, interesting. I've got this running on a number of computers and don't experience this. What is the client OS?
  • Your original files are always available in the X:\ServerPoolPart...\ folders on each drive in the pool. So you can always pull them out that way. The folder is hidden, so you will need to enable hidden folders to see it. It sounds like a service st…
  • You can view the ACLs directly @ C:\ServerPool\ServerFolders\Docuements.1 Don't change them (nothing bad should happen even if you do). You should be able to reset the ACLs from the Dashboard at any time. If you're still having this issue, please op…
  • The problem SDWolf was having is resolved and a fix will be deployed to everyone in the next build. It was a migration issue from M2 were the old mount point wasn't being removed properly.
  • 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. Is the drive being listed as Unhealthy in the drives list, or is it just that the WHS notification is there but…
  • Fixed in the next build I believe.
  • Not sure why my crash dump came up as anonymous  I thought I sent in a ticket.  I'll send one in now to give a little more background on what caused it. Nice crash, thank you! There was a tiny race condition (really tiny) in the driver. Fixed in th…
  • @outrun you should see an unhealthy drive in the drives list. Complete the repair wizard to clear the error.
  • Thanks, it was a nice clean dump with a stack trace clearly showing the crash. Full dumps are better though, but I understand they're large.
  • Absolutely. Upload here: http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_System_Crashes 
  • Shane is correct....but Alex are you saying because I turned on duplication after the files were on the disk this happens ? Surely it shouldn't ? and when a disk fills it moves on to the next (2 at a time) New file placement is fairly simple in Driv…
  • I've added this to the list of issues because there's a support case with another app that's experiencing the same symptoms. DrivePool's file notifications might need to get sorted out.
  • 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 yo…
  • Added to the list of issues. For now you can try to rename the folder to another name like Action Movies 2 and then back to Action Movies to avoid the error. ---- For the media streaming issue, try to turn off media streaming for the pooled folders …
  • Build 2984+ should work with HomeGroups. If someone could test this it would be great.
  • Yes, in that case I would merge the files in those folders back into the real music folder (e.g. \ServerFolders\Music) and delete them.
  • The only thing I can think of is that it doesn't like DrivePool's file change notification... But I noticed that it has a timer based refresh option, so it's strange that it doesn't work.
  • Sorry, didn't see that
  • If you need to manually delete a root folder from the pool, do it under C:\ServerPool\ServerFolder.Mount\ You shouldn't touch C:\ServerPool\ServerFolder\. This folder is managed automatically by DrivePool to mirror the Mount folder. Of course make s…
  • Steve, try it with a non-pooled folder and see if it works differently. I couldn't get it to work.
  • I think you've run into the duplication fail-over code. When writing to a duplicated folder, DrivePool writes to 2 hard disks at the same time so that you don't need a background balancing process to go over and re-duplicated the files. But if you …
  • An updated list of issues as of now: * 30 second service timeout.* System crash dump 7/27 (anon).* Move / change duplication error* The mystery of the disappearing folders* Not a valid win32 file time on duplication change* Tvix6600N SMB network con…
  • You can easily switch where each folder resides, on the pool or on a single drive, by opening folder properties and toggling the location. There is currently no automatic way to move all the files from one folder to another. You'll just have to open…
  • If anyone in this thread is still having problems with missing folders / shares the best thing to do is open a case @ http://stablebit.com/contact if you haven't done so. I can then set up remote support appointment to log into your server and take …
  • @Prelector What OS are you running it on?
