  1. The 3TB drive that Drivepool doesn't is seen by Windows and is 100% healthy. Nothing at all wrong with the drive. Is it possible for me to go back to an earlier version that works? Thanks
  2. I do not want and I do not need "The Cloud" How do I get rid of it?
  3. I'm trying to remove a bad HD from a pool. I've scanned it with Windows and I've run chkdsk. Windows says the drive is OK but Drivepool refuses to remove it. Is the pool toast or is there a way to remove the drive without loosing it? There's enough free space in the pool to remove it.
  4. I moved a set of disks from one computer to another computer after moving the old set of disks to a third computer. Drivepool then made me transfer the license which I did without thinking. The computer already had a valid license so why did I have to transfer it? Did I just destroy a valid license ?????? All 3 computers had valid Drivepool Licenses. All I did was swap disks around. I never meant, nor did I need to monkey with the licenses. What now ???

    Event log warning

    I'm getting lots of these warnings in my event log on Server 2012 R2 standard - The IO operation at logical block address for Disk \Device\00000079 (PDO name: ) was retried. 00000079 is the Covercube Virtual disk. Any ideas ? TIA
  6. Had a failing HD in the pool. Wanted to replace it but couldn't remove it due to the above error. Tried several times, rebooted between attempts and no joy. Finally gave up and nuked the pool from orbit and started over. Fortunately the pool was backed up so I didn't loose anything. The new pool is x2, dunno if this will help me avoid this situation tho. I know it is now too late but how should I handle this situation should it ever occur again? PS: Yes, I told it to ignore errors and remove anyway and that had no effect. TIA
  7. Suffered a disaster when one of my motherboards had a stroke. I replaced it and fortunately Windows Server was able to recover, had to reactivate but all was well after that. I also had to transfer the DrivePool license which was no surprise. The surprise came when I renamed the server. Once again I had to transfer the license. Is the License transfer triggered by a named change? Is there a limit to the number of times this can happen before I'm locked out? Reason I ask is I want to change the name again and maybe even again. Thanks
  8. The concept seems kinda wonky to me. Could someone explain it for me?
  9. Just set up a new system using Server 2016. I deactivated my license on the old system and installed it on the new system and it reactivated without a hitch. That was 2 days ago. Today I fired her up and Drivepool said I need to transfer my license to this computer. I did so and it was successful. My question is, why did I have to do it a second time?
  10. I've been wondering about this for some time now and today I ran into a major omission that left me baffled. Maybe I just overlooked it but I went to check what version I had and could not find it anywhere. In most Windows programs it's under Help -> About which is totally missing from Drivepool.... Or maybe I didn't see it?
  11. Thank you sir. I'm resetting all settings now.
  12. What happened was I hooked up a drive from another computer that was part of a defunct pool to this one in order to delete the partition. DrivePool on this computer somehow picked it up and now I'm getting a "One or more drives are disconnected from the pool" error on boot up. The pool in this computer is complete and healthy and only one pool is showing so I have no idea where this message is coming from. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks
