Download is back with build 5387. Look at the top of this thread. How to upgrade M4 to M4? Install the new build.Reboot the server. I will update the wiki tomorrow and post a full change log. Fixed some crashes and the rename bug. There is a long th…

I've been testing with uTorrent and have no such issues to report. DrivePool was coded to work with the various kernel caching components. You may want to wait until BETA M4 is available.

Read striping may not double your read speed. It works well in limited BUS scenarios like USB 2.0. Still testing / tweaking this feature to see if it's worth it. M4 read / write performance should be optimal. Opening many small files is not optimiz…

I'll test M4 with boxee.

... Can it be possible M4 cause damage to harddrives? DrivePool cannot physically damage hard drives. It doesn't access drives directly, it accesses the files on the drives using file paths, just like other applications.

Just an update. The link was disabled because of a rename bug. This is not migration related. I've fixed a number of issues in the latest build. Some were causing blue screens, and the rename bug. It's being tested now, once it passes I will put it …

Not sure if I should have waited until the duplication processing was complete before resolving the warning. Either way I'm curious to know if there's any way of querying Drive Pool to ascertain the location of the duplicate files so I can manually …
-
IMPORTANT Thank you all for testing early. I've pulled the link for now because there's an issue with file renames. It's a very specific issue where if your pool is balanced equally across all drives, and something tries to rename a file while askin…

Now that my system has sat for a few hours everything seems to have cleared up except for the fact that 687 bytes of data say there are "Unduplicated files" on one of my hard discs. The drives all say healthy though (I would think they would say un…

Edit 1- almost 2hrs still indexing- Remote Web Access Media Library numbers are changing with indexing. Indexing is a "Windows Search" process. It is affected by how "busy" it thinks your computer is. DrivePool has no control over the indexing spee…

I downloaded it also and am giving it a try. Any idea on how long the Background Duplication Pass takes? The total amount of duplicated data I have is around ~9TB so I would expect it wouldn't be instant but was just curious if there was an estima…

How to upgrade from M3? See wiki for instructions:http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool What does migration do? Here's what DrivePool does to "migrate" the pool to M4 Rename all "ServerPoolPart.G-U-I-D" folders to "PoolPart.G-U-I-D". The GUI…

Thank you all for your constructive comments. I appreciate it. A port to Win Vista+ should be very easy. CoveFS was designed to run on anything Vista+ without changes. The only thing that really needs to be ported would be the management UI, which s…

I used Dokan for my Master's Degree Keystone Project, and I have to say I'm shocked that you were ever able to get it working at all, let alone as well as it does in M3! Will the drive letter present as a true drive? I imagine if you could get tha…

This is a major development. I knew about storage spaces in Win 8 for a while, but Microsoft's blog post explained a lot. Obviously, this is a very bad thing for DrivePool. When Microsoft enters a market they dominate because of their sheer size. Pl…

"M3 will never be 100% perfect" Indexing, corrupted databases, file duplication problems are exactly the types of things that I was thinking of when deciding on what to do for M4. I would also add permission issues to that list. This has somewhat of…

As far as the new architecture in M4, I just want to clarify exactly why the changes were made and what the impact is. First, the way that your files are stored remains the same in M4. In fact, it is identical, unaltered NTFS files. This was very im…
-
Don't have the boxee hardware here, but tried to reproduce with boxee software on Win 7 and mac. Seems to work as expected with both M3 (all optimizations on) and M4. One thing to try is toggling the fast directory listing to see if that's having an…

Check for the WindowsImageBackup folder on the disk in the root. That's what DrivePool checks.
-
I am moving away from this. It was a quick way to prototype the project and get M1 out the door, now it's time to write something a little more serious. It will not be based on Dokan. I've wanted to move the project forward (I set this up a while ag…

DrivePool will definitely be available in multiple languages. Right not I'm a little busy with M4 stuff.
-
That's right. The problem with the service having to start before the backups can work, will be obsolete in M4.
-
I would not have suspected that. Can you upload your error reports to stablebit.com/contact? Thanks,
-
Try this: Generate a new GUID (you can use http://createguid.com/ or guidgen.exe) Create a folder on the drive in this format: ServerPoolPart.{GUID} Replace the GUID with your generated GUID. Make sure the GUID is enclosed in {...}. See if that adds…

Ok, it's probably the way in which filter drivers interact with DrivePool. I won't look at it now bec. it's changing in M4.

There are a number of things that need to be put in, and right now we're building the pieces required for the M4 pool part runtime. The pieces are being put into the current M3 builds as they're ready. But it won't reach its full potential until the…
