  1. The simplest thing to do would be replacing the sata cable, if you haven't already. Expecially if the same cable was connected to the drive that was removed. Also try a different power connector.
  2. 'Other' can be stuff associated with Windows or NTFS, not necessarily DrivePool itself. Would be nice to have a way to get a list of the files or some details. I would try moving some files to a non-pooled drive, then move them back. See if the 'other' amount goes down. I found this elsewhere on the forum... And then there's "Other". "Other" always confuses people, but it literally is everything else. So what else is there? Non-pooled files that exist on that disk. Remember that just because a disk is part of the pool doesn't mean that you can't continue to use that disk to store non-pooled files. NTFS Metadata. For every file on a NTFS volume, there is additional metadata associated with that data stream, like the file name, file attributes, modification times, etc. These typically take very little disk space, but can add up if you have lots of files. Directory entries. On NTFS, directory entries are actually stored as regular files with a "directory" attribute. But instead of a data stream, they contain a little database of index entries for each file (and subdirectory) that exists under them. Slack space. Just because you have a 100GB volume, doesn't mean that you can use all 100 Gigabytes of that volume to store data. NTFS divides your volume into equally sized chunks called clusters, which are typically 4096 bytes in size. If your file doesn't fit neatly into these clusters then there's going to be some space at the end of the file that's wasted. We call this "slack space". For example, if you have a 2kb text file, it's going to use the full 4kb cluster, even if 2kb is empty space. Same goes with larger files that don't fill that last cluster, which is very common.

    Column sort

    I was checking which drives had the most ugage. Surprise, you can't sort by age either.
  4. Are there possibly any locked files? For ex. BitTorrent like to reserve space by creating empty files & locking them. You say you 'cleaned' the disk. By reformatting, or just deleting files?
  5. I had Drivepool in use since approx. 2013. I've never noticed that happening. If I move a folder, it disappears from the source once every file is moved . The ONLY issue I have, and it isn't really a Drivepool problem, Is that sometimes network updates are slow to catch up. Ex. If I move a bunch of files to/from a networked pool to a local drive, Windows Explorer still sees 'ghost' files for a while (but can't actually access them!). I've found that creating a folder or file, then deleting it, will refresh the networked folder. I added a button to my file manager that does that when needed.
  6. The only balancers that I have installed are "All in One", "Duplication Space Optimizer", and "Stablebit Scanner". Balancing works automatically if I add or remove a drive. The All in One balancer has a selectible option "Equalize using un-duplicated files". and "Equalize by the free space remaining" which is what I think you are looking for. One thing to try is unstalling Drivepool, reboot, install Drivepool again. (all your pools should be automatically detected for you) This might fix the balancer version install issue.
  7. I have Drivepool v2.2.5.1237 running on Windows Server 2019 (fully updated) & Scanner v2.5.7.3565 I've been seeing about 2-4 Drivepool errors per hour in the Windows Event Log. About 140 error reports in the last 7 days. The details are different in each one, and deciphering their meaning is beyond my tech level. The common line in all of them seems to be this one... System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. Anyone know if this is normal, or something I can do to correct the issue? Heres some examples: Error report file saved to: C:\ProgramData\StableBit DrivePool\Service\ErrorReports\ErrorReport_2021_10_27-10_09_33.2.saencryptedreport Exception: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at CoveNative.Util.TimeoutAction.#Oaf.#TSj() at CoveNative.Util.TimeoutAction.Run(TimeSpan timeout, Boolean reportError, Action a) at CoveNative.Util.TimeoutAction.Run(TimeSpan timeout, Action a) at DrivePoolService.Pool.Tasks.CalculateBalanceRatio.#R5c(TaskRunState #xag, CalculateBalanceRatioTaskState #R9f, IEnumerable`1 #8we) ------------------- Error report file saved to: C:\ProgramData\StableBit DrivePool\Service\ErrorReports\ErrorReport_2021_10_27-10_24_33.3.saencryptedreport Exception: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException() at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key) at AllInOnePlugin.Balancer.PoolPart.ApplyFreeSpaceBalance(LimitOptions limitOptions, List`1 balanceStateInfosDup, List`1 balanceStateInfosUndup) at AllInOnePlugin.Balancer.PoolHelper.ApplyFreeSpaceBalance(LimitOptions limitOptions) at AllInOnePlugin.Balancer.EqualizeByFreeSpace(IEnumerable`1 archiveBalanceStates, IEnumerable`1 feederBalanceStates, LimitOptions limitOptions) at AllInOnePlugin.Balancer.Balance(IEnumerable`1 balanceStates) at DrivePoolService.Pool.Tasks.CalculateBalanceRatio.#1ff.#Ghf() at CoveNative.Util.TimeoutAction.#Oaf.#TSj() at CoveUtil.ReportingAction.Run(Action TheDangerousAction, Func`2 ErrorReportExceptionFilter)
