At least as of M3 build 1433, the only way to overcome this is to *manually* move the data into the pool's folders (i.e. by stopping the services and directly accessing the pool folders on the physical drives rather than using the shares). In a mult…

Hi hellerbrewing, many folks have experienced problems with DrivePool M3 and WHS Backup, personally I recommend keeping the backup folders out of the pool until at least DrivePool M4 is released.
-
For general reference, this particular problem (involving amongst other factors WHS's default data partition being assigned "F:" rather than "D:") was fixed by taking the following steps: uninstall DrivePoolchange partition drive letter F:\ back to …

Hi Symo, there's no universal "ideal" config for DrivePool. Pick whatever works best for you. Permissions should be fine via the dashboard, unless you want to customise individual folders within a share. That said, my personal preference (currently…

In the comment writing box's toolbar there's an "Insert Image" button that can link to a url (e.g. of a pic you have uploaded to the web). Looking at your linked pic... that's... not right. If you're interested in setting up a remote session, I've s…

Hmm. Can you post a screenshot of your machine's DrivePool "Hard Drive Pooling" tab?
-
Is there a folder beginning with "ServerPoolPart" in your new \ partition?
-
1) If you had duplication enabled for all shares, OR if the removal finished properly, you should not have lost any data. However, if duplication was not enabled for all shares, AND if it was not properly removed, then it does become difficult to te…

Did the option in DrivePool to reset permissions on the shares have any effect?
-
Eda's description can be found here: http://forum.covecube.com/discussion/comment/1229#Comment_1229 I would however change the order slightly in this situation: 0. If the virtual disk container file is itself corrupted (I'm not clear on this from th…

Please correct me if I have misunderstood: in summary, the Offline Folders feature of your laptop is not working with the Drivepool shares on your server? As he notes above, Alex is working on issues related to Offline Folders. I'd try the M4 milest…

Are you wanting an officially-supported solution, or are you open to screamingly non-official un-supported suggestions? If the latter interests you, read on at your own risk for a way to have one share "contain" other shares. Create a standard WHS …

DrivePool doesn't operate at the physical port level, so it doesn't matter if you move a disk between ports (even between SATA and USB). Just remember to power down the server unless it is capable of hot-swapping SATA ports. And for bonus karma, I h…
-
Hmm. Not one built into DrivePool, as far as I know. If your movie pool doesn't change much, you could regularly dump the directory tree to a file elsewhere, and then if a drive fails, do another dump and compare the two to find the missing files? S…
-
I can't emphasize the responses of DrTone and Codegear enough. DrivePool does NOT lock up your data. If both Alex and DrivePool somehow disappeared without trace overnight, you could still simply open your partitions in Windows Explorer and all of y…

P.S. Duplication is not backup.
-
Hi TheBeagle, please see Alex's comment in this thread, http://forum.covecube.com/discussion/comment/1275#Comment_1275 TLDR: yes, direct upgrade, all the way to release actually. Additional info: all pools are standard Windows folders and files, ind…

Excellent news! (except for the computer backups folder, looks like that's a little bugbear ) Thankyou very much for letting us know how it went.
-
WHS 2011 creates a C: (system) and (data) partition on the first drive. It should be possible to add the partition to the pool (and just to be sure, I did it before posting this). So if you can't add WHS's data partition on the first drive to the …
-
That's it, yes; I remove the data drives just to avoid any chance of WHS installing itself on them. (caveat: I have not personally tried this with a pool that includes WHS's shared folders, only my own shared folders - if you have migrated WHS's fol…

Hi Blue, in order of preferred use, the paths are: \\servername\poolfolder\yourstuffc:\serverpool\serverfolders.mount\poolfolder.duplicationnumber\yourstuffc:\serverpool\serverfolders\poolfolder\yourstuff Note that the latter two are NOT network sha…

No worries.

Hi Jim, if you can, please upload the MEMORY.DMP per the instructions in http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_System_Crashes
-
That is very odd; I was under the impression DrivePool isn't supposed to do that at all - it has been reasonably well-behaved on mine. In the "Hard Drive Pooling" tab of the StableBit DrivePool dashboard add-in do any of the drives in the pool offer…

Hi mbc0, if you still have the problem with build 4058, could you submit a copy of DrivePool's error logs?http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Log_Collection

WHS2011's Backup wizard is limited to 2TB total and a single destination disk. *cue brain exploding* It actually uses Server 2008's backup software underneath, which does not have this limit but has a much uglier UI. If you want more than 2TB and a …

Hi Jolly, if you can, please follow the instructions at http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Log_Collection to upload your DrivePool logs to Covecube.

Hi akaz. While I'm not covecube, given what Alex's said in the past I'd be very surprised if the answers were anything other than yes (beta extension), yes (M3 to M4 recognized) and yes (M4 to Release recognized).
-
No such file on my server either, and similar googling results.
-
I definitely recommend submitting a bug report. I'd start with this one for the BSOD: http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_System_Crashes And mention in the report that you subsequently tried a clean reinstall and are getting that error.
