    Chris_B got a reaction from Shane in Newbie question about backup   
    Shane, I just wanted to jump in and thank you for the reference to FreeFileSync. I have been using another file backup/cloning tool for years. One of my backup sets of over 200,000 files was taking well over 5min to do the source/dest compare before the backup copy operation. FreeFileSync takes 3 seconds and that's not even using parallel operations that their donation edition supports. Still trying to figure out how they do the compare so fast as I see no resident process doing compare stuff in the background...Anyway, very happy with it. Thanks.

    Thanks Shane for confirming DrivePool was the source and thanks VapechiK for the solution. I set the "BitLocker_PoolPartUnlockDetect" override value to False and after a reboot all the pings were gone.
    For what it's worth the only reason I noticed this is that I wasn't seeing the external (backup) drive going into standby power mode so I started to look for reasons. Power mode is still active but I think Hard Disk Sentinel's SMART poll may be keeping that drive alive. Not a big deal now that the pings are gone.

    hi.  in windows/file explorer enable 'show hidden files and folders.'  then go to:
    https://wiki.covecube.com/Main_Page  
    and bookmark for future reference.  from this page on the left side click StableBit DrivePool > 2.x Advanced Settings.

    if you are using BitLocker to encrypt your drives you will NOT want to do this, and will just have to live with the drive LEDs flashing and disc pings i assume. i don't use it so i don't know much about it.
    the given example on this page just happens to be the exact .json setting you need to change to stop DP from pinging your discs every ~5secs.
    set "BitLocker_PoolPartUnlockDetect" override value from null to false as shown.
    if StableBit CloudDrive is also installed you will need to change the same setting for it also. opening either of these json files, it just happens to be the very top entry on the file.
    you may need to give your user account 'full control' on the 'security' tab (right click the json > properties > security) in order to save the changes.
    this worked immediately for me, no reboot necessary. YMMV...  good luck

    No clue. If it helps at all, I have DrivePool v2.3.2.1493 on a Win10Pro box with a mix of nvme ssd and sata hdd, and I even plugged in a usb hdd to see if anything changed, and I'm not getting that issue.
    Edit: spoke too soon. I am seeing that on the usb hdd I plugged in, but not my other devices. It at least involves the DrivePool service, as stopping the service stops the effect and starting the service starts it back up.
