[DrivePool and SnapRAID]

Yes, it does look like that is "right". Though it *should* be "attrib -H -S D:\PoolPart.GUID /D".

 

There should be no issues with doing this, that I'm aware of, but Alex may have input on that.

And I don't think it will change it back, but I'm not certain.

 

As for a better solution, I think FlexRAID may work better here. Less issues, I believe.

 

Thanks for the correction.  I played a bit with FlexRAID before I moved to Drivepool for my extender.  I couldn't get it to update properly before my trial expired which sent me to search for another solution.  I may go back if Snapraid doesn't work for me.

 

The newest version of SnapRAID works fine with my hidden PoolPart directories. Doublecheck your snapraid config file. There is a setting:

 

# Excludes hidden files and directories (uncomment to enable).

#nohidden

 

Maybe you've uncomment'ed the setting, which would make snapraid skip over the hidden PoolPart directories. I tested a snapraid restore a few weeks ago and it worked fine, it restored it to the proper drive.

 

Thanks for point this out.  I checked my config file and it appears as you show above.  How would you comment/uncomment the setting?

I'm not seeing any instructions at all.

 

Give me a day or two, and I'll see what I can do.

 

Thanks for looking into this.  I have tried another pooling option, but really like Drivepool and Scanner. 

 

I posted in another forum and a member provided a solution that was working for him.  He essentially removed the hidden and system attributes the Drivepool applies to the Poolpart folders.  He didn't have the exact syntax off the top of his head, but he believed it was running the following on  "attrib -H -S [Poolpart folder location]  /D".  I'm a little over my skis hear, but we probably want to apply to subdirectories also.  If this is the case, I should enter the following in an elavated command prompt. 

 

1. Run command prompt as Administrator
3. Change directory to pooled drive (not sure if this is needed or not):  Enter "[Pool Drive]:" where [Pool Drive] is the letter of the drive with your Poolpart folder
5. Remove hidden & system attributes from Poolpart folder:  Enter "attrib -H -S /D /S [Poolpart foldername]
7. Repeat for each pooled drive

Questions:

 

1. Does the above sound right?
3. Are there any issues or watchouts with removing the hidden & system attributes from the Poolpart folder?
5. Will Drivepool change this back (do I need to keep changing)?
7. Is there a better solution?

I'm trying to get SnapRAID to work with Drivepool, but I'm not having much luck.  Can anyone provide some simple instructions for setup on a Windows 7 system?
