  1. Yesterday
  2. Resetting the performance counters is the solution in this case. That's what's used to generate the information.
  3. Last week
  4. Is the above possible without losing any existing data (all pools use file duplication not folders)
  5. While files and folders in a pool will still show their size (and also their "size on disk") as if they were not duplicated, DrivePool calculates the total, used and free space on the basis of the actual physical drives' total, used and free space; it does not attempt to predict space on the basis of duplication (e.g. that if you have x2 duplication on the entire pool you'll of course be using x2 as much space for each file). This is because of the problem of it being impossible to predict post-duplication free space when using per-folder duplication.
  6. Hi All, Using Drivepool v2.3.6.1562 I have been using drivepool for a number of years without any issues. Recently I am experiencing a weird issue. I have 2 x 1tb SSDs with full duplication enabled. I have around 450gb of files in this pool. Therefore, I would expect DP to say total size is 1tb, 450 used, and 500ish free. However, DP seems to think the pool is 1.78tb in size, with 835 free, and 990 duplicated - everything is doubled. Why does this matter?, basically my PC thinks it has 834gb of free space but in fact it has far less: The one change I made recently that I think may be related is that I used mounted folders instead of mounted drives (c:\DrivePoolDisks in my pool). I did not find anything in the docs related to this. Any suggestions? Thanks Will
  7. Not sure why it was necessary but I after seeing the errors in the log I decided to reset the performance counters and restart WMI. Once I did that and reset the scanner service it started working.
  8. Yes it was unmounted. I ended up using a python script to delete the files. In case anyone else needs to do this and finds it useful, I took the script from here -> https://github.com/JackPo/gdrive_orphan_cleanup/tree/main For my case (no other files in Google Drive apart from the chunks), I just needed to amend line 99 of the code to if not item.get('shared', False):
  9. Hi all, since the last update i've been noticing the stablebit cloud drive service using 100% cpu regularly, the only way i found to stop it is to terminate the service. the app is throwing some errors regarding having trouble uploading to onedrive, but when i re-authorize it seems to be ok. any ideas? did some more testing, the 100% cpu issue seems related to problems with onedrive (although probably a bug in Stablebit cloud drive because a problem with onedrive shouldn't lead to 100% cpu use), i tried reauthoriing, the web page opens up, says it's ok, but shortly after i get an error from onedrive saying it can't upload, there is no space, i check the one drive, plenty of free space, no problem there.
  10. I'm trialling clouddrive at the moment and understood I could create a windows fileshare on clouddrive and use that to add to my drivepool on another pc. I've done this with four drives on the second PC and clouddrive says they are all connected but there is nothing on drivepool , the drives are not there! Am I missing something?
  11. v 2.6.7.4027, updated today Now no longer getting disk performance graph or active %, either in the main window or if I right-click a disk and select Disk Information. I rebooted after installing. I'd like to have this information back. Related, but in DrivePool I am also no longer getting information about which files in the pool are currently being accessed. Shows n number of open files, doesn't show which. Updated that today too. Thanks
  12. Folks, thank all for the ideas. I am not neglecting them but I have some health issues that make it very hard for me to do much of anything for a while. I will try the more promising ones as my health permits but it will take some time. From operation and the lack of errors during writing/reading it seems that I am in no danger except duplication won't work. I can live with that for a while. Keep the ideas coming and, maybe, I can get this mess fixed and report back which tools worked for me. I am making one pass through my pool where I remove a drive from the pool, run full diagnosis and file system diagnosis on that drive then I re-add it back to the pool. When completed that will assure that there are no underlying drive problems and I can proceed from there. Thanks to all who tried to help this old man.
  13. Ah, I didn't realize that. That takes care of a lot of "fun" issues, though. And yeah, the UNC prefix can be super useful!
  14. Note that the linked thread's linked SetACL utility will automatically use \\?\P:\ internally (as can be seen in its console output) if P:\ is supplied. A useful tip for other CLI tools though!
  15. That's a good educated guess. I have changed my theme (yes, it was previously dark theme) and will report here for others in the future... if I catch it happening again. Thank you for your response.
  16. I would recommend running a disk check, as it sounds like there may have been some corruption, causing the split. That said, for fixing this: https://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_F1655
  17. I'd have to double check, but note that you're using the dark theme, which changes the colors that you're seeing. I believe that you're seeing optimal on top, switch in the middle, and hold on the bottom. (colors changed to provide better contrast.
  18. ^ This. The cli tools sometimes work better. My only suggestion for that would be to use \\?\P:\ instead of P:\, for long filename support.
  19. After I moved the pool to another computer, my 3TB drive decides to start a new pool. This disk shall be a part of DrivePool (M:) What can I do?
  20. I'm 9 days into my DrivePool adventure. I saw my Read Striping vertical bar look like this tonight. It contains a color that isn't shown on the reference in the User Guide (reference link). The percentage also seems mysterious, as only all 3 colors combined would add up to 99.3% Anyone able to share some hard-earned knowledge with a curious mind? Thx in advance.
  21. If it's stuck ownership/permissions that the built-in Windows tools can't fix, this link might help? https://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/5810-ntfs-permissions-and-drivepool/ (the second post in the thread describes the fix method I've used)
  22. Is the drive unmounted on the system? If so, then this sounds like a cleanup issue on Google's side. if not, then this is likely because of the daily upload limit for Google Drive.
  23. There isn't really any plans on fully supporting the functionality, at this time. The DirectStorage API should work, in general. However, the BypassIO won't work on the pool, because there is no *actual* IO going to the pool, and passing that along to the underlying disks is not simple. However, StableBit DrivePool won't disable BypassIO from working on other disks.
  24. Yeah, that typically is a file system error. The path is the path on the pool, and best bet is to copy the file from elsewhere. Worst case, the "dpcmd" tool can be used to identify which drives that this file exists on. Likely one of these will have read errors, and will need to be resolved. A CHKDSK pass on the disk *may* help, but emphasis on "may" here.
  25. OK, by bad usage of the term backup :-). I meant; 'relatively safe data storage, with reduced change of (single) mechanical drive failure or bitrot causing data loss'. I understand that it is not a replacement for (e.g.) off-site offline tape storage. And I agree that knowing is better than not. But fixing (as it does when it detects duplicate parts with different DTS) would be even better. It isn't a new file, so I don't understand the source/destination reference. I thought that I had posted an image with the initial post, but apparently not. Hopefully that works this time 🙂
  26. A thread regarding direct storage opened last June. A ticket was opened here: https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/28716 What does the timeline look like on these/how can I voice support for getting this implemented? This will be a needed addition, as I have 4 NVME drives that host my games, and getting the maximum speed from them is important. I see that the Analysis was completed, but there aren't any more details. If this a feature that will be implemented? Do we have a timeline on when that will get added in? It's not critical now, but within a year it's likely going to be.
