I only have experience with your second question. If you figure out Q1 you could probably just use it to trigger my solution to Q2. 1.) enable drivepool's runningfile option 2.) use bigteddy's FileSystemWatcher script (available on technet) to monitor for the removal of the runningfile you've configured, and write an event 3.) use the event-log entry you set up to trigger snapraid via a scheduled task (in a nutshell, DP will create a dummy file while it's balancing and remove it when it's done. You can use the removal of this file to trigger SR) Some notes: 1. ) the filesystem watcher eats up some i/o, so I still recommend you schedule it and define a max. runtime - If you let it run all the time, it will also trigger snapraid every time DP does any routine checks, not just balancing 2.) I recommend configuring snapraid-helper (from codeplex) rather than calling snapraid from command-line - it will check for a user-defined number of missing files prior to sync, and e-mail you so you can decide what to do - you can also have it email you with a list of added / removed / updated / restored files after every sync if you so desire. I'd never touched powershell prior to configuring the scenaro above, and now I use it for all kinds of cool stuff. It's worth giving it a go. I made quite a few posts, here, while trying to get it working. they might be useful
