Got it. I'll see if I can add that in the future without getting rid of the current view.
-
I have thought about this... The reason why the percentages are not there is because IMO they are displaying redundant data. Because I think a percentage just tells you how much of the disk is full, relative to the size of the disk. The same piece o…

The .2 notation is a DrivePool M3 thing, it has never been used in M4 and going forward. This is almost certainly something left over from M3.
-
When your trial runs out (or if you never got a license), 2 things happen:You cannot create new folders on the pool.The DrivePool tab in the Dashboad is not usable.I will look into the drive removal issue. I don't believe that should be a problem.
-
The delay in the discount emails was caused because stablebit.com was getting switched over to Amazon's cloud based email service in order to service the rising demand in the number of emails that the system sends out. In particular, because of the …

The short of it is, DrivePool doesn't assign drive letters. And this is why... The way that all self-respecing and well behaved virtual file systems are supposed to handle this, is to defer volume mount point assignment to the kernel mount point m…

Thanks for the report. @Shane: I've checked a few test servers and I did find some blank pies but I don't see a clear pattern like on your system. On one server, a server that was migrated from M3, a non-pooled folder had a blank pie. On another …

@Yogimax If you need help from me go to http://stablebit.com/contact and we'll get it sorted out. Most likely the folder structure has changed for some reason and you are only seeing a partial listing of files (my guess). I'll be glad to help you fi…

The Scanner has supported SAT since 1.0 for USB devices. I think the 16 command was added later IIRC. I guess we need to enable this for non USB devices as well.
-
Update: I've discovered that boxee and other devices based on SAMBA, and even software not based on SAMBA, seems to trigger some undocumented logic in NTFS's directory listing algorithm. In fact, the call that Windows was passing down to DrivePool w…
-
Perhaps I can turn this into some code that can go into the installer.
-
I would say only 30-40% of the folders are duplicated the rest are correct single listings. I can go into any of the duplicated folders and the file plays fine. Any thoughts? Duplicate folders sounds like a different issue. Will fix it. 5410 should…
-
I believe I've fixed it. The problem was not what I thought it was. Download:StableBit.DrivePool_1.0.0.5410_BETA.wssx Let me know if it still has problems. If this fixes it, I'll send this build through testing and post it up. Don't forget to reboot…
-
I've been thinking about the boxee issue a bit more while playing around with the boxee that I have... and I've come up with an experimental version. Can someone who is experiencing this issue grab this experimental build and let me know if the fold…

About the installation issues, A number of people seem to be having trouble upgrading. I just ran a small test scenario manually: Started with a working M3 machine pre-populated with data.Installed 5380.Opened Dashboard and performed Migration. Conf…
-
I've seen something similar in another scenario. I have it classified as a minor issue. It will be fixed.
-
@wraptor: M4 only knows how to do fast listings. This is not fixed yet. There are a few more important issues to deal with (blue screen on boot). But it's next on the list. If you haven't upgraded yet and want to avoid the teething issues, so to spe…
-
Seems like the WHS installer can get confused. I was thinking of writing a separate uninstaller, but some issues are more important. For now you can follow the guidelines I posted here on uninstalling: http://forum.covecube.com/discussion/346/cant-a…
-
There are still some issues in 5401 causing blue screens. A new build is in testing right now.
-
If your M4 Dashboard is not opening The first thing to try is delete everything in: C:\ProgramData\StableBitDrivePool\Service\Store AND C:\ProgramData\StableBitDrivePool\Dashboard\Store Then restart the server (of the StableBit DrivePool service) --…
-
I've pushed out 5401 to address all the dumps that came in before yesterday. Download:http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool I'll be fixing anything else that comes in via. the box dump upload widget on the wiki.
-
I believe that I have a handle on what's causing this. DrivePool M4 (and the old fast directory listing), as an optimization, essentially can say to the caller, "I don't have any directories for you this time, but ask again". I suspect that linux / …
-
I've observed this periodic flushing of the cache when testing M4. I then put in explicit code to flush the cache for every file, and that really killed the performance, so it's not that DrivePool is flushing the cache in that way. Also, I've notice…
-
I set up a stress test with build 5380 where I was copying 800+ GB from another DrivePool server, transcoding on 3 threads, downloading 5MB /s (40 megabits) with uTorrent, and performing a computer backup to the same server. I let this go on for 24 …
-
As for the backup issues, the instruction above are on how to delete the backups. I try to avoid doing that, because obviously they will be gone. I'll be testing backups more concretely but so far, everything is working as expected over here.
-
NTFS stores each file in 4096 byte sized chunks (usually) called clusters. The more you create / delete on the disk, the more "holes" you create, because for efficiency, NTFS files are placed randomly on the disk. To fill these holes files have to b…
-
I've seen a few of these. Seems like Windows is refusing to un-share the old shares sometimes. In this case, everything else gets migrated, except that the new folders don't get shared. The simple solution is to just re-share the folders on the pool…
-
Here's are some general guidelines from a support case that I had earlier. Here are the steps:Go Start -> Type Computer Management, open it. Under System Tools -> Shared Folders -> Shares Delete any shares pointing to C:\ServerPool\ServerF…

I've gotten a hold of the Boxee box hardware and am working intimately with it to get to the bottom of this. I suspect a subtle difference in how linux expects directories to be listed.
-
I'm working these out as the dumps are coming in. The easiest way to disable DrivePool on a headless unit is to connect the drive to another machine and rename c:\windows\system32\drivers\covefs.sys to something else like covefs.sys.disabled. Or jus…
