  • I'm going to look into this and will let you know.
  • I'm going to close this thread to try and keep things organized. Let's start new threads about each point that you want to discuss.
  • @e_blue, the pool size is back now in the new build. @danivtec, that was a bug reported shortly after release that prevented proper directory creation. You would see an error when copying new files or creating new directories. @daveyboy37, haven't s…
  • Yes. The drives will be flagged as foreign in the new M2 build. The old BETA had no concept of foreign disks so in order for the new BETA to validate your drives you just need to complete the foreign disk wizard for each disk in the pool with data o…
  • Sounds like it may be a bug. Please update to the latest build (just came out) and if the problem continues open a support thread @ http://stablebit.com/contact
  • Will we be able to add the default folders (videos etc) into the pool in this build? No. That's coming in the M3 build up next. M3 will be a features build, unlike M2 (out now) which is mostly a technology build. With hidden disks, will this allow …

  • How about a "pin a shared folder to a pooled drive or a set of drives" feature? If the drives run out of space, DrivePool will have no choice but to place files on other drives in the pool. It should probably issue a notification letting you know th…
  • The C: drive cannot be part of the pool. The c:\ServerPool folder is not part of the pool, it is the pool. It's a mounted volume that's not really part of your C: drive. You cannot target which drives to use for folder duplication. It will use 2 poo…
  •  I just started using drive poo (beta 718) l and I can confirm I just had the same thing happen. A created a new hard drive pool with directories that were working fine yesterday. Woke up this morning and all the drives were missing.  Eventually the…
  • Unfortunately it will be English only for now. We are definitely looking to do translations, but at this point it's all about the code. Thank you for the offer, I will post more info when we're ready (much later), probably around release time which …

  • Any day now, just finalizing tracing. It's going to be mostly a "plumbing" build. Lots of behind the scenes work done. Here's a list of some of the new stuff: Full 32k+ long path name support (provided the app supports it)Hidden disks. Ability to ad…

  • Possibly July. It's starting to take shape. We have the service running and are starting to do work on the UI.

  • The best thing to do is open a contact thread @ http://stablebit.com/support this will guarantee a reply within 24 hours. Attach the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\OmniDriveGuard folder from your server zipped up. I can provide…
  • Thanks guys. Like I said, we're not giving up until we get this right. I can see all the different parts that need to be in place for this to work, it's just a matter of time.
  • It will be possible. We'll tackle this in the build after the next. The next build will introduce a bunch of new features regarding managing disks, better and error control and full long path name support. The build after the next will concentrate o…
  • The next build of DrivePool will feature some brand new stuff under the hood. Independent disk management through VDS, the same API that computer management uses. It will have full long path name support and an extensive system for handling errors w…
  • There's another support case that just came in with an identical error. Is the folder a deep path? In other word, is the full path more than say, 160 characters? Copying logged in locally on the server, or from another computer through a network sha…
  • Sean, Our policy is to reply to every case within a maximum of 24 hours. To my knowledge, we've only ever missed one I believe this is your case: http://stablebit.com/Contact/4254653 As I stated in the contact request, we've seen this once before i…
  • Current Beta has a Dashboard tab for Stablebit and a tab for Windows folders and drives. Seems to me that MS has tasked others to take on the challenge of drive pooling and that they may cooperate once your software is near completion to make the po…
  • We're more about having a fixed set of features that we're going for than a fixed release date. Things that need to be done as of today: Problem recovery. What to do when things go wrong. Disks go bad / lost. Read / write error WHS notifications. (p…
  • The service is on a 30 second timeout and it appears that some servers are very busy during boot time and the service is timing out. Asynchronous service starting will be added, but for now you may want to set the service start type to Automatic (De…
  • Make sure the files are actually there. I think there might still be a bug there, it's on the todo list for the next build.
  • Unicode folder names should not be a problem. Automatically moving the default shared folders to the pool is not in the current BETA. You can of course manually move their contents to the pool. This will be added before the 1.0 release. I'm not fami…
  • Sounds like the StableBit DrivePool service is not running. You may want to try and restart the service. If that doesn't help then support is handled @ http://stablebit.com/contact Thanks,
  • @Alex This scenario sounds very good, assuming data security remains intact, and disk I/O is not crippled. Would this scenario still present mounted folders in Explorer view (like it does currently) and would we still be able to create / move / dest…
  • PM me your nest ID if you'd like me to look at it.
  • No that's not correct. Looks like it's not parsing your SSD properly. Uncorrectable sectors don't affect data integrity on SSD drives (normally).
  • The scanner will stop scanning all disk if it's outside of the scanning time window specified in settings and Start / Stop Automatically is enabled. If this is not the case and the scanner is not throttling the disk or waiting for it to cool down (y…
