  1. I've been playing with the two software packages on a variety of OSes for my needs to see what I was going to use and I've been having some problems and have finally narrowed down but am stuck.

     

    I had issues with 2012 essentials that were similar but did not do the same test there yet.  The system would not respond well or reboot reliably, I went back to WHS2011 before attempting again.

     

    Issue:  drivepool works great and is fast and UI connects every time until installing scanner.  Once installing scanner there are several drives that are reported as missing 4 of 5 drives.  device manager also shows the 4 drives are not present.

     

    OS:  WHS 2011 x64 bit with all updates applied (170 or so) prior to installing scanner and drivepool. drivepool 2.0.0.420x64 annd scanner 2.4.0.2929.

     

    Hardware: 

    • OS drive using onboard ICH7 SATA 3 port
    • 4 pool drives (WD 2TB Red) using addonics SATA6 2x PCIe card (Marvell 9230 based)
    • 1 pool drive (WD 2TB Red) using eSATA onboard port (JMicron 36x based)
    • 8GB RAM
    • atom asus ion 5t deluxe

    From device manager, it appears that the only drive showing up to drive pool is the eSATA one and all the drives on SATA6 add-on card are not found.  Drivepool UI indicates that the re-balance target for one drive is zero data so it is attempting to move that data off.  I guess that is based on a flag from the scanner.

     

    Once scanner started up it was scanning 3 drives.  I assume that was because there are three controllers in the system so it could scan three drives at once.

     

    scanner log files and folders are empty, nothing to submit.

     

    thanks,

    ----update----

    after playing a bit with it, the issue appears to occur only when scanning one of the drives attached to the 9230 Marvell controller.  are there issues with drivers on that card?
