Recently moved and didn’t have my Drivepool+Snapraid server on for a few months (I also have Scanner). Finally got it up and running again and noticed Drivepool was attempting to balance. I thought I had all balancing turned off, but realized one of the drives was now damaged so Drivepool was using the “allow balancing plug-ins to force immediate balancing” via Stablebit Scanner (my understanding is it was trying to move files out of the damaged drive). Should I not have “allow balancing plug-ins to force immediate balancing” checked (and not have the Scanner plug-in active) since Snapraid will recreate the files on the new replacement drive? I get that it can be helpful for Drivepool to remove files off a damaged drive, but since I use this with Snapraid, isn’t it better to just have Snapraid recreate the files on a new drive? If Drivepool moves files from the damaged drive, that would just mess up sync and add “new” files to the other drives? Is my understanding correct?
