I'm seeing the same exact problem, but also with the previous beta on an 2012 R2 machine. As a matter of fact we believe it's causing the Services service to eventual use 100% of the CPU and thus locking up the server HARD (where a hard reset is necessary)
-
Thanks guys, I'm think 2018 has a non VSS option so I'll look into that.
-
Can anyone think of a reason why why Acronis True Image 2018 would not be able to back up selected pool folders? Just sits there 'calculating time remaining'. Removed the program, started from scratch. Works fine for any other disk in the machine except the DrivePool.
-
Looks like I've now myself run into this issue. I can't remove ANY drive from my pool, as I run into this Access Denied wall. I've tried to run the permission fixer, and that also fails with "Access Denied". I've turned all balancers off, problem persists.
WHS 2011
DP Version 2.2.0.737

Man, I have a bunch of these drives....
-
Nevermind, I got it. There are some extra characters in the link you provided..

Ok thanks, I submit a ticket when the ticket system is working.
-
Thanks for the great support, The lic is going to be a problem (I didn't know that, I had multiple lic??), as I don't have any access to the lic number(s) (everything is on that system/drives) so I'm not sure how to proceed?

Man I'm pissed, my 2 year old HP G7 N54L motherboard failed, and they are crazy if they think I'm going to spend that much on replacing that motherboard. Arrrrrg..
So I now have to build up a new computer, this time I'M going to build my own.. WHS 2011, ~46TB Single Storage Pool, Stable bit 2.0,
I have a couple of questions on how to do this correctly:
1) How do I de-activate my Lic. since I can't start up the computer?
While I'm at this, I'm going to change my eSATA 8 bay storage bay (Connector is flaky), with a USB 3.0 8 Bay Storage bay, and I'm getting rid of a 5 bay storage bay, and moving those drives to the new server.
2) Given the above, what is my best game plan on moving all these drives?
Here is the build Basics.

Ok, so I'll just ignore it.. Thanks for all the help!
-
I gotta tell ya, WHS 2011 is A LOT easier and seems to work well for small home networks.
I just recently setup this 2012 R2 server for work, and man-O-man it's WAY more complicated. My only advice is to let the wizards do all the heavy lifting until you know more about the OS, and take things very slow.
-
I have noticed that it only seems to happen when the Server back up starts, so that's twice a day like clock work.
-
I went with Crashplan.. Seems good enough..
One thing I found out though.. DO NOT included the Client Backup Folder in that backup, causes WSE 2012R2 back up system to fail.
-
It doesn't appear to effect the scanner, I mean it seems to open just fine and run. Should I just ignore the error in the logs. ?
-
It's seems like I'm seeing those errors at least twice a day. I'm going to run another scan again to make sure... (no SMART warnings)
-
The IO operation at logical block address 0x2 for Disk 6 (PDO name: \Device\00000044) was retried.
I keep getting this error in the event viewer, not sure what it means.. and Disk 6 is the Pool Drive.
EDIT: Using the latest beta version
-
Version 2.5.2.3100 BETA
-
I have attached the error reports.
-
The OS drive is an SSD, Would it be OK to add the OS drive to the pool? I tried to resize the hard drive to add another partition, but that didn't work.
-
Was looking for a "Oh crap the building burned down" solution for the important stuff which only amounts to about 10 gigs.

I think I may have misunderstood what you're trying to get at.
If you're using duplication, then you'll want to specify two disks in the File Placement rules.
If you don't and the files are duplicated, it will pick a random disk to place the additional parts in, and degrade the pool's condition (as it's less than ideal).
It's the same issue that the SSD Optimizer balancer has. When the files are written, if they're duplicated, it needs to write them to both disks. If it can't find a "proper" disk, it falls back onto the "other disks". However, the main difference is that the balancer plugin has no issue with this... but the File Placement rules cause the pool's condition to degrade when this happens.
So If I only have one SSD for storage, and the other drive I select in the file placement options is a standard HDD, then I'm back to the speed of the slowest drive?

What are you guys using for an off site incremental backup solution for your drive pool?
-
Is windows 10 fully supported yet?
-
I was really looking forward to possibly using the CloudPool solution for simple data backup to the cloud, but man that's some pretty steep cost's..
Drivepool very slow when measuring
in General

I'm sorry Christopher, It's is the 'System' service. If drive pool completes it's measuring (most of the time once the System service gets to ~95% it's game over; Drivepool never completes) the System service CPU usage drops significantly, <2%. Also I notice it's a slow 'build up' of CPU usage over time, and usually when it hits 100% the system will soon crash and reboot.
This is just an observation that I'm attributing to the last 2 beta's. The problem may not have anything to do with Drivepool directly, but it does seem like it's causing it in some way. I will try the latest (877) build Monday night.
