I brought it up via support and they gave me some options so for future reference 1) Run chkdsk on each volume 2) Disable bitlocker detection (https://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_2.x_Advanced_Settings) 3) SMART queries via scanner, so enable smart throttling In my instance I had already done chkdsk on all of my volumes. So I moved on to #2, when I checked the settings.json it was actually just full of nul's, so first I stopped pool, deleted the file, restarted pool to let it generate a valid one, then I disabled the bitlocker detection. For me one of those 2 things, either having an invalid settings.json or disabling the bitlocker detection, appears to have fixed it for me

Very basically there's three layers; at the device layer you have the CoveFS drivers that present each pool as a virtual NTFS drive to the system, at the service layer you have the DrivePool services that handle balancing, diagnostics, placement, repairs, triggers, scheduling, shutdown, etc, and at the user layer you have the GUI that lets you configure and manually operate the service layer.
