How long after a photo is "deleted" does it reappear?What other software do you have installed on the server?If you hover the mouse over the pool condition bar, what message do you see?
-
Might be a good idea to run a consistency check on your pool: go to the "Pool" tab of the Dashboard's "Server Folders and Hard Drives" section, select your pool drive, choose "Check duplication consistency" from the task list on the right.

I can't imagine any reason MS would limit write performance on Windows 8 on purpose - accidentally, sure, on purpose, no.
-
Note that "re-index" uses Windows Search, while "re-measure" does not. Also note that both are background tasks; they can take quite some to complete and your Dashboard display will continue to update as they progress. Re indexing, you can untick al…

Hmm. That would be useful. You might try submitting it as a feature request, though it would also depend on how XBMC carries out its scanning. http://stablebit.com/contact

Hmm. On the Server, via Explorer, go to \\SERVER (replace with name of your server) to see a list of your shares. Right-click one of the problem shares, choose "Properties", choose "Sharing", choose "Share...", if you see "Guest" or "Everyone", use …

Hi, you could try copying a different file into each of the poolpart folders and refreshing to see if either (or both!) appears in the pool, but I've asked Alex if there's a better way.
-
Hi, so you've done the following steps in the following order: 1. Troubleshooting tool, restore drivepool shares option.2. Troubleshooting tool, reset NTFS permissions option.3. Dashboard, changed user permissions for the shares. And everyone still …
-
Which version did you upgrade from, Ahlitah?
-
In theory, no. But given 1.3 is still in beta, as a general precaution I'd at least upgrade to the latest stable release (1.2) first.
-
Hi jcoleky. When you install DrivePool for the first time, its pool is empty. When you add a drive to the pool, that drive's free space becomes available to the pool - but any content already on that drive does NOT automatically become part of the p…
-
Thanks tlsrulz. I've incorporated your tips. You can safely delete the Shares folder from the pool drive if you have emptied it into other folders and aren't sharing it with the network (and I've also added that you can safely delete the old WHSv1 D…
-
Sometimes a program can close without releasing the files it was using, or Windows decides to inspect/whatever a file and forgets to let go. A server restart should fix both of these. If not, another possibility is a mangled permission issue, for wh…
-
Just checking, is your problem also with MCM or a different program? Re resetting without a hard reboot, does stopping the StableBit DrivePool (SBDP) service, closing MCM, then restarting the SBDP service work? Or closing MCM then stop/starting the …
-
If you turn on duplication, it should not double-duplicate anything it finds already duplicated. I do suggest going to the "Pool" tab of the Dashboard's "Server Folders and Hard Drives" section, finding and clicking on your pool drive, and clicking …
-
Hi FLK. Is this with any particular/beta version of DrivePool? Some other users have also run into problems with WHS Indexing and the pool. What happens if you do re-measures with WHS Indexing turned off?
-
Hi Anders, I've submitted your bug to StableBit. If you find any others, you can submit them directly via http://stablebit.com/contact as that will ensure it gets examined (though we users certainly don't mind also hearing about it on the forum). Th…
-
Hi muaddib, no, that was before the M4(?) complete rewrite of the DrivePool code to use a true file system driver rather a user/kernel space hybrid. Version 1.0.0.5380, I think. Your path should use the pool's own drive letter (as displayed by the S…
-
Hi Bry, when writing/balancing, DrivePool chooses drives to use according to their free space available. So the short answer is it is entirely possible that you could end up with the contents of a folder split across multiple drives. Currently, bala…
-
Unfortunately, that's not both model and serial - it's just the model string returned by Windows, e.g. WDC WD3200AAKS-00VYA0. Tested with Samsung, Seagate and Western Digital drives. Good news though on the feature request! Model and serial will be …
-
Hi japrehm, I can't recall ever seeing that problem before, sorry. I would suggest submitting a bug report to http://stablebit.com/contact with the information you have posted here and mentioning the version of DrivePool you have installed.
-
DrivePool 1.2 doesn't use c:\serverpool. It should be safe to delete (unless something ELSE is using a folder called c:\serverpool, of course). If in doubt, try to rename it instead and see what happens, that way if something breaks you can just ren…
-
I'll add that I think it very unlikely a parked head is what is meant by standby mode. I suspect standby and sleep modes describe when the platters are stationary and only the solid state circuitry is powered, and that parking may be averaged into t…
-
WDC's glossary says that head parking reduces power consumption by reducing aerodynamic drag. We are talking rather low wattage either way. To quickly tabulate (and I find it interesting that Red drives use less power writing to the disk than Green …
-
Unless/until serial numbers can be displayed by DrivePool, I use the method of setting the volume label of each drive to be the same as its serial number. If one already has a bunch of drives in the pool, one could unplug them from the machine, not…
-
The "Pool" tab of "Server Folders and Hard Drives" will tell you the drive letter and volume label of a missing pool drive. If you then use StableBit Scanner (or another drive utility) that can show the corresponding serial number to that drive lett…
-
Short answer? Reds are probably better in a multiple drive array, RAID or not. WD's PR hype aside, it does seem to be what they're designed for. Looking at just the 3TB specs, the Red is somewhat more power efficient, noise is slightly less, speed i…
-
Short answer: yes. Longer answer: we haven't been given any hints that the poolpart system will be incompatible under different Windows (if anything, the opposite - Alex makes a lot of effort to keep things as friendly as possible).
-
DP uses Windows indexing to show the folder size charts in the Dashboard. If you don't mind missing that, it'll work just fine without it.

Thanks for the fix tip, kobi001.
