  1. I had file placement rules on all the directories below movies (iso, mkv, tester) DrivePool D:\movies\iso DrivePool D:\movies\mkv DrivePool D:\movies\tester I deleted tester before I removed file placement rules. Now in the drivepool UI > File Placement, when I try and show directories under movies, I get the error "Unable to Enumerate Folder access is denied".
  2. Hmm, I didn't expect you to say that scenario 1 would write at the speed of 2 disks...
  3. Happy Drivepool user here. Have 40TB raw. Currently Drivepool is my home "production". Drivepool is about to become backup for Freenas. I"m looking for ways to increase the throughput moving data from Freenas to Drivepool across 10GbE. Consider these two hypothetical scenarios. Will either of these allow two copy jobs in parallel to write at the speed of two disks? Assuming a single disk will sequential write at 150MB, I'm looking to write at 300MB. SCENARIO 1 - single pool with two folders ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pool Z with 4 disks File placement options set for /ISO folder to use disk 1,2 File placement options set for /MKV folder to use disk 3,4. SCENARIO 2 - two pools each having 1 folder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pool Y with 2 disks storing /ISO Pool Z with 2 disks storing /MKV
  4. I appreciate the response, however, there are no copies whatsoever going on in the question.
  5. so much lonesome on this question...
  6. Lets say I have 4 drives connected through SAS to the pool and I have no duplication turned on. The files in the pool are all 40GB ISO files. Now I add 4 more identical drives to the pool via SAS. ( I know drivepool doesn't care how they are connected) Now I turn on 2x duplication. Will Stablebit drivepool copy 1 file at a time? Maybe it ends up doing 4 copies at the same time because it has 4 disks to read from and 4 to write to?
  7. A simple solution for what you want would be to disable all duplication within drivepool and use a separate program to sync the two pools, thereby achieving the redundancy. I'll be doing this with a program I've been using for years to backup PC's to a NAS, http://www.smartsync.com/ The only downside I can see here is you won't get the read boost if drivepool isn't doing the duplication.
  8. Understood. Retaining elegance as flexibility increases is, um, hard. I don't have any answer for you because I'm new here. But I'm curious, is your intent to have 1 copy of each file in pool A and 1 copy in pool B? Thats why I want the feature. I want my duplication to happen across interfaces for speed. This statement makes me unclear "two copies of all files on each sata card"
  9. Created an account here just to let you know this is only feature missing that I would love to see :-)
