The index rebuild appears to have worked for my shares. Pie charts are now displayed.
-
Ok, sounds like something has not gone to plan. Could you contact Alex via http://stablebit.com/Contact and let him know, he can tell you what logs he'll need or it might be possible to set up a remote session to take a look.
-
Hrm. Your old pool folders should have shown up. I'm presuming you've rebooted the server when drivepool finished installing?
-
Was this a clean install or an upgrade? If the latter, could you try uninstalling DrivePool, then removing C:\ProgramData\StableBitDrivePool if still present, rebooting and reinstalling? Failing that, I'd suggesting contacting Alex directly, http://…

When DrivePool is installed, it checks to see if there are any PoolPart folders already on your attached disks from a past installation of DrivePool. If there are, it adds them to the pool and sets up their sharing automatically, although it may ask…
-
P.S. Sometimes I've found that I need to repeat the ownership/permissions steps a couple of times before I actually get full control.
-
If you've nothing else on the drive that you want, the "easy" out is to format it. Otherwise, you will have to take Ownership of the folder and its contents and then reset its permissions to give you full control, e.g. http://www.techrepublic.com/bl…

(I'm guessing you mean G's rather than k's) Long story short, while WHS itself may break if you mess with the drive letters, a new DrivePool installation does not care what the drive letters were on an old DrivePool installation, it just needs the P…
-
Note: do NOT remove a drive letter from a drive that WHS expects to find, such as any drive containing a WHS share (e.g. if your Documents or Pictures share is on \ServerFolders, do not remove ).
-
Sounds like a bug. Can you report it to Alex via http://stablebit.com/contact ?
-
P.S. I've let Alex know of this issue.
-
Remote into your server, remove the drive letters from disks (but not the DrivePool drive) using Disk Management, then immediately reboot. DrivePool will still find and use the disks. Note: drives without letters will not show up in the "Hard Drives…
-
Archaisms aside, this is a bug (perhaps a Windows bug, but if so, unless/until Microsoft fixes it, DrivePool needs to work around it). teesee150, please let Alex know directly? http://stablebit.com/contact

Just in my opinion, the best choice is duplicate first, THEN balance. Balancing - decides how much of your data is facing oblivion when a disk dies.Duplication - decides whether or not that data needs to face oblivion in the first place. There may …
-
Hmm. Confirmed. I've just checked my own setup, and it's doing the same thing on (and only on) shares that are in the form "pooldrive:\ServerFolders\share" while those that are in the form of "notpooldrive:\ServerFolders\share" or "anydrive:\share" …
-
Note that when you use the "Move the folder" command, it will want to put your folder in driveServerFolders\yourfolder rather than driveyourfolder - if you don't want the ServerFolders root, you'll have to use "Add a folder" and then Browse to the d…
-
Yes, via the WHS Dashboard "Move the Folder" command, from the HDD that is part of the pool to the "Drive" that is provided by the pool. This allows you to make use of the pool's duplication ability (if you want to use it) and/or automatic extending…
-
I'm concerned that DrivePool was seemingly unable to correctly see the available space on the four remaining drive. If there continue to be problems with it, could you contact Alex? http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Troubleshooting
-
Generally, install DrivePool, add all permanent drives to the pool that aren't being used to do backups, then move all shared folders to the pool that aren't being used to do backups (e.g. leave the Client Computer Backups folder alone). Turn on dup…
-
DrivePool can automatically detect an existing pool. My routine for a fresh WHS+DP install is to: * only have the system disk plugged in* begin WHS install* on first reboot, power down, add the other disks, power up (with client backup disk connec…
-
On the plus side, it should automatically detect all your existing pool folders when you re-install.
-
There should definitely be a C:\ProgramData\StableBitDrivePool\Service folder on the server. If not, er, yes, installation problem!
-
Garym999, how are the offline files with the latest builds?
-
Perhaps http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Log_Collection and submit an IO log of the not-so-balancing issue on your machine to Alex?
-
It should be possible to revert back by uninstalling the newer version yourself before reinstalling the older version?
-
The trick/workaround in the meantime would be to use the dashboard to add the existing folder so it becomes a share ("Add a folder to the pool", make up a random temporary share name, "Browse", choose the existing folder), enable duplication, then s…
-
Sorry Vaslo, the Scanner forum is a little quiet at the moment, also it's a community forum; if you want to obtain a developer response it's best to use the contact form, i.e. http://stablebit.com/contact - and Alex is usually pretty quick to respon…
-
Currently (as far as I know), the only "normal" way to enable/disable duplication on a folder is if it's listed in the dashboard as a shared folder. However, if you stop sharing a duplicated folder (right-click, "Stop sharing the folder") it still s…
-
There are definitely still some issues with client backups in pooled folders. If, as a newbie, you don't want to tackle beta-testing the client backups, I suggest setting aside a non-pooled drive (or partition on the drive) for the client backups un…
-
There are a variety of ways to migrate data to the pool; the main thing to keep in mind is that any drive added to the pool still remains usable as a normal drive, with all its existing data intact. If you're just using the Dashboard, the process is…
