Great question! After reboot, I can create folders and copy data into the hidden poolpart folders, and the direct drive. The virtual pool drive is the issue, and I have to do the steps above to unlock. I'll take a look at the tool you suggested, thanks. I wonder why the virtual drive is locking up?

I'm hoping someone can help me with this one... Pool is on a 6-drive USB 3.2 TerraMaster JBOD. Drives are all Seagate X18 18TB(4x) 20TB(2x) I keep getting this error after I reboot my Win11 pc and I go to my DrivePool and try to create a new folder or copy new data. Error 0x8000FFFF Catastrophic failure Or I get a protected, permissions, or read only notifications. I have done the permissions fix suggestion here (Q5510455). Also, Scanner and CryalMark Disk Info show no S.M.A.R.T. errors or warnings. Reading data is fine. What's really weird is I can fix this issue when I go to the DrivePool app, tell it to remove a drive that has nothing on it, and surprisingly nothing happens. The drive is still in the pool and space stays the same. Even more surprising is then when I go back to the DrivePool drive, and I can now use it like normal. Create folders and moving data like normal, and the pool capacity is the same. This works until I reboot, then I have to do these steps again. I'm very confused as to why I keep getting this error after a reboot, and why doing the steps listed is restoring functionality.
