Drivepool missing after removing a Caching SSD


Enigma147

Question

Ive got a weird problem:

 

System: i5-6500, 16 GB, 16 HDD, 4 SSD, 

 

Pool config: All harddisks, 2x SSD's configured for caching. (approx 30 TB capacity)

 

This morning i had to remove one of the Caching SSD's. I removed it from the drivepool and when it was removed i shut down the system and detached the SSD from the system. . 

 

When i booted my system, my drivepool was gone.

 

I followed the steps and the alternative steps in: http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Q2299585B

 

But still No drivepool. 

 

At the moment, i can see all my drives, thats it. See below.

 

- I can't create a new pool

- All my drives are markted as non pooled, when i click add, i get the  error message below.

- Tried both latest stable and BETA versions of the software, deleting content of the the C:\programdata\Stablbit drivepool folder, between removal and installing..

 

Adding the SSD to the pool again is not an option at this momend a friend is lending it. 

 

What do i do to fix this?

That's .... very odd. 

 

Could you run the StableBit Troubleshooter? 

http://dl.covecube.com/Troubleshooter/StableBit.Troubleshooter.exe

 

After doing that, could you see if upgrading the beta version helps?

Nope, stil not working.

 

What i have done sofar: 

 

Tried the procedure:

Step 1, no problem.

Step 2-3, Delete the folder. Easy. NOT, folder is protected for deletion. Finally got them away with Unlocker. 

Step 3, Pool was already disappeared, and i still can't create a new pool. 

Step 4, No pool to move the drives to. Stopped the procedure. 

 

Then i deleted the \programdata\drivepool contents. No effect. 

I uninstalled the programm with Revo Uninstaller, did a thorough scan and deleted all the found stuff.(Didnt find much, nice programming.)

Rebooted my system and reinstalled the latest beta.

 

And still i can't create a new pool.

 

If i now  try to add a drive it freezes at 95%. On the drive a Poolpart.xxx folder appears. 

 

Any idea's?

 

BTW, i ran a new Troubleshooter.

Update: 

 

Could not Wait any longer for a resolution. Saw that Covecube disk Enumerator had an error in device manager, played a bit around with it, but no luck.  Solution: i reinstalled Windows. 

 

Created the drivepool, took the service offline, copied my data back in the poolpart folders. 

 

Drivepool is now verifying my data. I left SSD caching off.

 

Thanks for the help.

Sorry that we weren't able to get this fixed, but that bit is the key part.

 

The "Covecuve Disk Enumator" is the storage controller for the pool drives, and if that is having issues ... it could cause this sort of behavior. 

 

Normally, this shouldn't happe, but something "wonky" apparenlty happened here.

 

In case this happens again, completely removing and reinstalling the software should sort this sort of issue out:

Using things like Revo Uninstaller, CCleaner and the like is not a good idea, as it can/will miss things specific to the software
