RJGNOW

Interesting, I've never seen that before.. Looking forward to others opinions.

I had 2 WD Greens that threw high LCC smart errors, One died a horrible death (after watching it for 2 months), and I decommissioned the other (it was too risky as it had quite a bit of un-duplicated data on it). Personally I would watch them very closely, but plan to replace them. That jump seems very high to me.. (8 to 35K) PS: You may want to edit your post... "..lots of di** activity.."

Sorry for the delay,, I'm on build .500, with the same results. Ticket # 2376270

Arrrrg, this is driving me crazy... Any update ?

I updated the support ticket.. The unit is an HP N54L... Is that lower powered CPU?

I uploaded the Services Folder Edit: This problem is frustrating enough, that I opened a Service Ticket on it.

1) Will do 2) Yes 3) No Should I turn off Network IO Boost?

I have been experiencing a problem from day one and it's now becoming a little frustrating. Software: HP N54L WHS 2011 W/8 Gigs RAM (Fully Patched) Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Clients DrivePool: Every release Stable and Beta (Currently build .481) Problem: When working with files/folders (Renaming, Moving, Deleting, etc.) after I have a made a change, I am, most of the time, lock out from making any other changes. Example: I have a folder inside a folder that is named the same. I want to move the last folder structure (Child) outside the main folder structure (Parent). So I rename the parent folder, and then browser down inside that folder to 'CUT' the child folder so I can move the folder outside the parent. When I go to paste the folder I get the 'Sorry this folder/file is in use by another program error' The only way I can perform the cut is to back out all the way to root network folder structure. When I go back in I can make the change no problem, but as soon as I try and make another, I get hit by the same error. I have noticed that if I quickly attempt to rename some folders, I can typically rename 3-4 before I get the error msg. If I'm slow to rename, I may get hit on the very first attempt. It's Very strange.. What I've done: Too many things to list, but the problem doesn't seem to be client machine based (This happens from any computer on my network)

I did mention it, just not officially. There is no doubt it's a stable bit (DP and Scanner) issue (no other tabs cause it, and it only happen after you have selected either Stable bit tabs), but to be quit frank it doesn't really bother me enough to mess with it, as the memory is released when the dashboard is closed.

There is a "memory leak" in the dashboard programs of both DP and Scanner. If you are keeping the dashboard open (after initiating the tabs) the memory usage will continue to climb regardless if tab is active. Closing the dashboard will release the memory. As long as I'm not doing a lot of work in the dashboard it has not been a problem for me. (I have 8 Gigs of Ram though)

I don't see why not. You have enough space, power and cooling in the case?

I believe .467 for me. I'm using the latest beta now.

LOL, that was it. I still had show hidden folders displaying. sooooo, well you know the rest... ;-)

Ok so my plot thickens. I went through all my drives and noticed that on 4 of them I have 2 PoolPart folders that were created on 3/20/14, these folders are empty (ie no ServerFolder folder). I also noticed that I have one Poolpart folder that was previously created on the 5th that is also empty (ie no ServerFolder folder).

I think you can add #3 to this. I've noticed that with beta .468 and the previous beta balancing has stopped. I would post some screenshots but the site says I've exceeded my limit or something like that.. Bottom line is, it's clearly not working, as I have 4 drive that DP will not balance to at all, and that is after adding about 3 TB of data to the pool.

Are you sharing via SMB?

Well that was it, the 'Server Folder' add-on had been disabled.. Very very strange.. Thanks for your help Christopher. What is the easiest process to change the drive letter for the pool AFTER everything has been running for a few months?

Ok, So I'm not exactly sure what is going on here. I moved my client backups to the pool, Change the pool drive letter, rebooted and now the Folder Tab is Gone, and no matter what I do, I can't get it back. What in the world could have happened.?

10-4

I ran into this error today. Should we restart Shadow Copy for the pool drive? If so, I keep running into a error when trying to restart SC for the pool drive.

The Pool is indicating a missing drive, when Windows disk managment and Scanner say's it's not. I know the pool is supposed to update itself when a drive comes back on line, but it doens't apear to be working, and I don't see anyway to manualy get the pool logic to recheck. I have to restart the server to get it to see the drive again. I also noticed that there was no error msg sent even though I have it setup to send on any error. PS: I tried to attach pics of the error, but I recieved 'You have exceeded your allotted disk space for attachments' error

Ok so I copied the file and re-named it "DrivePool.Service.exe.config", and below is the code, but it's not creating the text file. <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" > <section name="DrivePoolService.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <startup><supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client"/></startup><applicationSettings> <DrivePoolService.Properties.Settings> <setting name="RunningFile_FileName" serializeAs="String"> <value>C:\ProgramData\StableBit DrivePool\RunningPool.txt</value> </setting> </DrivePoolService.Properties.Settings> </applicationSettings> </configuration>

I have discovered something and I didn't know which area to post it in. I have notice when using the dashboard for long periods of time (few hours) that it becomes sluggish. I didn't think too much of it until this morning, when I realized that I had forgotten to shut down the dashboard and saw that It was consuming almost 1.5 Gigs of RAM. So I started looking at what might be the cause. I have these ad-ins installed: Advanced Admin Console Add-in Central Lights Out StableBit Scanner and DrivePool When I open the dashboard the Home tab is active, so moving to the resource monitor found in AAC I see that the dashboard is holding steady @ 149 Megs of RAM Consumption. When I move to the Light-Out Tab, I hold steady @ ~180 Megs of RAM. If I move to either DrivePool or Scanner, the dashboard memory consumption increases slowly but never stops increasing. The memory is released when closing the dashboard. Is this normal behavior? Stable Version (2.0.2.420) of Drive Pool, and Beta Version (2.5.0.2982) Scanner

Thank You

Is there a DrivePool Equivalent to Scanners "RunScanner.txt" system? I'm looking for a way to stop LightsOut from hibernating the server when DrivePool is doing it's thing.
