Huge folder decided to unduplicated

[Pancakes]

Excuse the title typo!

 

My TV Shows folder which is around 6TB just decided to switch itself from 2x to 1x.

 

I noticed when I saw that I had over 12TB free space, and panicked that I lost a bunch of data somewhere. After looking into DrivePool, it was balancing. I waited for it to finish and it said everything was good. Checked duplication, and it was set to x1

 

Now I am duplicating the data again, but if I didn't notice and list a drive, I would have been toast

 

Any idea why it would do this?

By chance, are you using Windows 7, Windows Server 2008R2, or Windows Home Server 2011? 

 

If so, then this is a known issue (that happens EXTREMELY rarely), and has been fixed in beta versions. 

 

Please download this version:

Nope I'm on WS2016 Standard running BETA 2.2.0.734

 

Should I still give that BETA a shot?

 

Thanks!

There isn't any specific changes to the code that change the behavior after the build your on, so no, upgrading won't help. 

 

 

 

That said, are you using ReFS? 

If you have StableBit Scanner installed, do any of the drives have any issues? 

 

And you definitely verified that the duplication was (incorrectly) set to x1 rather than x2?

[Pancakes]

Nope I am using NTFS, I have StableBit Scanner installed, and the drives all show as good

 

I did have two drives show as having filesystem damage around a month ago, but I followed some advice on here and moved to a later BETA of scanner which fixed the issue, one still showed as having filesystem damage, but a quick checkdisk fixed it

 

I am 100% that duplication was set to X1 vs X2 which it should have been

 

If its helps, the folder used to be a root folder with X2, and then got moved inside a child folder which also had X2 (Probably a year ogo) but I never had any problems

 

When I went in to check after noticing the problem, it was on blue with X1, so I set it to X2, but its still blue. It used to be Green with X2

That last bit, if you're setting it to x1 and it's not taking, that could be part of the problem. 

 

In this case, enable file system logging, reproduce the issue, and then upload the logs.
