  • Thanks, Shane!   I was most worried about the "default" folders, so I'm so happy to see that this all just works. I'll be doing this as my 64GB SSD arrives today! R 64GB doesn't meet the minimum size requirements for WHS. Im guessing he will use the…
  • To the best of my knowledge a release date for Stablebit has never been mentioned. It sounds as though the website you frequent does not let facts get in the way of adding "information" of their site. M4 was a rework of drivepool software to alievia…
  • Really glad it worked for you.. Rumours abound that Alex is gonna re enable a drive balancing option in a future biuld.. So if this is imporatant to you, you should be covered :-)
  • Only an opinion, but depending on the amount of data, it may be worthwhile only choosing duplication when all your data is mapped out in a way u like. For ease of moving data into the pool there is a much quicker option. Though it will come at the e…
  • Hey Dave...One thought on this cos i have had similar in the past. Did you start your pool from scratch? By that i mean its possible to speed up the process of setting up the pool by simply dragging files on each individual drive from outside of the…
  • Yep same error here... Server backup no longer works.Having used Acronis sucessfully for a client  restore, i may look into the options for using similar for my server backups... Anyone had any experience of using 3rd party stuff for server backup?m…
  • About the installation issues, A number of people seem to be having trouble upgrading. I just ran a small test scenario manually: Started with a working M3 machine pre-populated with data.Installed 5380.Opened Dashboard and performed Migration. Conf…
  • Yep... Same thing here
  • Yep... Its screwed me up too.. 600+ folders of hi-def Movies. Not lost cos i can see them all after assigning drive letters to the pooled drives. But permission on the majority. But because dp even places empty folders on each pool part. Thats 8 dri…
  • Yep same here... Seems to just be documents and a custom made movie folder that will not allow me access. Other default folders and other custom folders are fine.Not through the lauchpad or even when trying to open via RDP.How can i roll back...Are …
  • Mmmmm, your comments about the ssd are interesting. when i built my WHS 2011, i actually purchased an SSD for the install. When i asked for advice on WGS i was told that an SSD is a waste of time on a WHS, cos its always on(in theory.) So i reinstal…
  • Well personally... and i know that speed improvements should be coming in M4... If i saw no speed increase, im still a happy bunny. I transfer my downloads from a non-pooled drive to my duplicated pool every couple of days. As long as my streaming i…
  • Yep , i think there is an issue somewhere...but youre not alone. Im fortunate to be getting speeds similar to ArthurHawkins. Going from a W7 pc (Complete with crappy Realtek Network Chip) to the pool with a 6GB files im averaging about 60 M/bps.Doin…
  • Alex has stated quite a few times that you should not rely on M3 yet.  Once it moves to M4, the bugs are supposed to be worked out and the improvements will be focused on performance. Yes he has. Personally i have been trying everything i can to …
  • Wow, This is just awesome.Alex youre a legend. Thank you for your tireless work.
  • Wow. Powerful stuff...breeze onto the forums a day ago and declare the program useless.Having said that your points are totally valid.Then again this is beta software and by definition not feature complete. The good news is though, that you have opt…
  • Thats brilliant news Alex... Just the fact that its gonna be possible is good enough for me!
  • Shane writes ,(a) optimising performance - e.g. if set A has heavy random access (e.g. db/docs/pics) while set B has heavy sustained transfers (e.g. music/video), ideally A and B will never be located on the same disk(s). Multiple pools allow this. …
  •   Hi Alex And its no problem i will keep looking for things for you to do   LeeYeah was thinking the forum seems quiet today (always a good sign). Alex must be bored stiff ! :-D
  • Without drive letter, how will you identify which physical drive is which if you need to test or replace a failing drive?  The drive letters can easily be added again in computer management if needed.
  •  Yes, you can remove them.  The latest version of DP no longer uses drive letters. Nice one..Im just migrating data, so will give it ago when it finishes.Thanks
  • How often will you be adding multiple drives that doing it 1 at a time will not be enough anyways?  Good Point!!
  • Installed Build 3078, inital testing looks promising..Yep. I tend to use the check for updates from within the dashboard. It never found any so i was still running the origal M3. The later build seems to have taken away the last few remaining issues…
  • Yep. I have been having the same issue in the last couple of days.At least once a day im having to restart the drivepool service. :-(
  • Around $20 - $30 USD. Similar price as the Scanner. The M4 changes might be rolled into a separate "Pro" version depending on the final performance numbers. Yeah i think thats a good idea to pay a little extra for a few bells and whistles! :-). …
  • Awesome Shane. Yep i just created a test folder with duplication, dumped a file in there and it created a folder within the serverpoolpart on 2 drives. I then created another folder without duplication and it just put the folder on one drive. I then…
  • +1 for the wireframe
  • Ah, Thank you... I will have a look
  • Yep, On Point 1 i certainly agree. I still have no idea how to move the default folders into the pool. I really wanna use Drivepool on my server as opposed to Drive Bender. But currently Drive Bender seems to have taken over on the functionality s…
  • Show hidden files and folders is already checked. No big deal anyway. I plan on reinstalling the server soon as im having other issues at the moment such as constantly getting Computer Monitoring Error for all the connected devices.
