    you can ignore them - i asked a long time ago and Christopher confirmed its a side effect of it being a virtual disk and nothing to worry about

    Jasper got a reaction from Antoineki in Why is the Drivepool GUI so different from other Windows programs   
    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?

    Jasper got a reaction from Christopher (Drashna) in Just built my first ever true storage server   
    Thanks to eBay I was able to assemble the following parts for surprisingly little.
     
    1. Supermicro SC846E16-R1200B 24 Bay 4U Chassis with  2x 1200Watt 80plus Gold PSU.
     
    2. Supermicro X8DT6-F Motherboard
     
    3. 2x Intel Xeon x5570 cpu's.
     
    4. 32gb Hynix DDR3 Server Ram (4 x 8gb)
     
    5. Supermicro passive heatsinks (brand new in the box)
     
    I loaded Win Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (already had) and installed 17.5TB worth of HD's (already had). More to be added later.
     
    Everything I got from eBay could have passed for new and it all works flawlessly.
     
    I decided to go with Drivepool versus RAID / SS / other solutions for 2 reasons 1. Worst case senario all I can loose is a what's on the failed HD. The remainder of the pool leaves my data unmolested and accessible in any Windows computer (this is important to me). 2. I've been using it for quite some time now and it's proven to be totally reliable and simple (too simple but very good at what it does).
     
    I'll be using this server for the following -
     
    1. Data Storage
     
    2. Media Server
     
    3. Backups.
     
    4. Blue Iris Server
     
    Given the expandability of this system, it will probably outlive me.
     
    Yes, it's noisy and sucks up the juice but it won't be running 24/7 and it's not located in a people area so neither matters.
     
    Excluding the HD's and SW which I already had, The system cost me well under $1000. I'm happy.

    Jasper got a reaction from Tardas-Zib in OK, I give up. Somebody clue me in   
    Lost a drive out of the pool. Totally disappeared. Sent it back to it's maker and they sent me another. I installed it and added it to the pool. Since the entire pool was mirrored I expected it to automatically rebuild the formerly missing drive but nothing is happening. I looked around and could find no option to do so. This is a HTPC so it's kinda hard to work with for this sort of thing. How can I get Stablebit to rebuild the new drive?
     
    Thanks
