It looks like the problem is this: Permissions on some folders were reset to No Access for all users.Trying to change permissions from folder properties in the DrivePool tab issues an "Access Denied" error. Does that fit what some of you are seeing?
-
Regarding access denied errors on the shares, in addition to the changes notes above this build also resets the permissions on all the ServerPoolPart folders and the C:\ServerPool\ServerFolders folder. Those folders serve as the root for the shares …

I believe that this is a WHS 2011 feature. Let me see... Yes. If you bring up the alert viewer in the Dashboard, in the lower left corner there will be a link to set email notifications up. Unless you're talking about WHS v1, where that feature does…

Fixed. Thanks.

Just checked the code and DrivePool assign an empty string when it adds a raw drive. The volume label is purely cosmetic.
-
Best case scenario for this would be to isolate each drive on its own BUS (i.e. putting more than one drive on, say, USB 2.0 will slow everything down). Also, DrivePool is multi-threaded, so having multiple cores will help.
-
I haven't tested these with DrivePool. From a technical point of view, defragmenting a disk relies on a special API that lets the app determine the layout of a file on the disk and then to move parts of that file around. DrivePool does not support (…
-
Just to confirm that this definitely looks like a DrivePool issues. Not all systems are affected, but it looks like a performance related problem. In particular, the write I/O is timing out. This should be fixed in M4 so we'll revisit this once that…
-
@SilverRubicon: I don't think it will be any worse than M3 in terms of stability. I'm actually hopeful that it will be more reliable than what it's doing now.
-
@allineedis The ProgramData folder is hidden, so you will want to type in C:\ProgramData into the explorer Window. Open a support case and I'll guide you through it.
-
I'm testing an internal build of M4 with optimized read I/O. I'm seeing up to 90MB / s read time, but your milage may vary. M4 uses direct driver to driver I/O in the kernel, it also takes advantage of the NT cache manager (called Fast I/O in the ke…

Anyone having this issue, please submit your C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs\backup* log files to http://stablebit.com/contact Just zip them all up and attach. Note the times of failures, if known.
-
I think you're going to have to open both folders and cut and paste. The only thing you can't do is move from a duplicated folder to a non-duplicated folder and vice versa.
-
The data on the drive does not get altered when you add it to the pool. Technically, what happens is a hidden ServerPoolPart... folder is created in the root directory of the drive and all the pool action happens there. However, if you add an Unallo…

Anyone else having this? I haven't seen any backup database corruptions reported via stablebit.com so I'm assuming this is not widespread. Computer backups are running over here with no problems since the first build that supported moving the backup…

According to WD, the RS, RX, RSDTL (as in WD20EARS) are 4K. The way this works is, all legacy OSes assume 512 bytes per sector. And all drives use that as the logical sector count / mapping. However, in the newer ATA specs. there are fields that sho…

Yes, offline activation would work with the correct URL, but online activation was broken. Fixed in 972.
-
I've looked into this, and it seems like those drives are reporting non-advanced format. It might be that they're lying on purpose for backwards compatibility.
-
@eagleknight: You will need to collect logs at the point of failure. Instructions:http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Log_Collection This is a little more complicated than error reports so I suggest you open a case @ stablebit.com and I'll …

DrivePool adds volumes (or partitions) to the pool. It doesn't care about anything except the fact that it's an NTFS file system and not a system volume. The file duplication algorithm then figures out how to place the file parts correctly. I.e. it …
-
Hmm, interesting. I guess the gist of this is that you would like a duplicated folder that stores the duplicated parts on an offline drive and is not synchronized in real-time but as a manual process by the user. The newest files would not be dupli…

@sdwolf Hopefully this won't continue for much longer. This will be addressed in the next update, or the one after. But yes, that should work for now.

To make the pool appear as a drive letter you can: From the command line type: subst P: C:\ServerPool\ServerFolders.MountYou will now notice a P: drive appear in My Computer which would be your pool. Suffice it to say this is unsupported. As you may…

Here's a trick you can try to force a folder to be hidden from the network: Open a command prompt on the server.Navigate to C:\ServerPool\ServerFolders.MountFind the folder that you want to hide, say it's called "My Hidden Folder.1"Type: notepad "My…

Jim, I need to see the error reports to give you more details. http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Error_Reports I know there is an issue with removing the last drive from the pool, but I presume this is not what you're doing. Access denied…
-
Yes, that's helpful. If you could get a dump from the crash, that would be great. You can use the DrivePool dump submission page:http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_System_Crashes Just make a note that it's for BitFlock.

@JohnBrahm: Yes, M3 will have a hit on performance. The kind of hit will depend on how the application access the pool and the performance of the CPU. For example, applications using overlapping I/O with large buffers on a server with a fast CPU sho…

That's right, any day now.
