    Disk missing

    Thanks a lot for your assistance.. I'll stick with the 2nd option, since there is data I need. Let's see what comes up next.

    Disk missing

    My pool consists of 9 drives. One of them, a Seagate 8TB, went missing all of a sudden today upon switching on the pc. There is only an nvme boot drive in the system. Nothing changed since last night. I assigned the drive a letter under windows disk management, drive is recognized, run both hd sentinel and seatools diagnostic tools, nothing's wrong with the drive. Tried to restart Stablebit drivepool service, nothing happened. The drive is still missing. Please, find attached screenshots of what the pool interface states that the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, in windows explorer when activating hidden files/folders option, the hidden poolpart is not visible. Running wiztree64 all data is there P:\PoolPart.1cc21105-cd95-4eed-aadf-3852342f52df.

    Severe Issue

    My pool consists of 9 drives and while balancing yesterday I realized that it became a bit unresponsive for the first time in a couple of years. I didn't pay much attention to it. A few hours later, I found to my surprise, that it had created on its own a second pool with the capacity of one of the drives, without my intervention. That particular drive shows the correct total and free capacity. I entered disk management gave it a drive letter, under hidden directories pool part is there, but apparently is inaccessible. The rest of the drives in my normal pool show the correct capacity of the rest of the 8 drives, files, folders, directories all accessible. Any ideas why this has happened and a solution to this issue?
  4. But there isn't any data on the only drive to the the second pool. What I essentially want to do is to delete the second pool. I simply don't need it.
  5. I recently created a second pool at the same hardware under the same license consisting of a single spare drive that i had lying around. Today, I decided to delete the second pool that I have created and remain with the initial one. How am I supposed to do that. Is there an option somewhere, cause I tried to remove the drive and nothing happens. B.t.w. there isn't any data in the pool nor the drive, so if a force removal is indicated I wouldn't mind at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pool Disapeared

    yes they are physical internal sata iii drives. No, my boot ssd is a 120gb Intel. The board is intel based s1150, Rst drivers are not installed. What I actually did, is to move all data to other disks outside of the pool, do a clean install from win 8.1 to 10 pro, released my DB licence, installed the stable version of DB, pool is up and running normally, moved over the data, seems ok. No issues at all, I still can't explain it though, perhaps it was an operating system corruption that caused the issue, I really don't know. Anyway, thanks once again for the assistance.

    Pool Disapeared

    Very odd indeed! I assigned to each of the drives a letter, stopped drive pool service and notifications, a minute or two went by and I checked again the pool was there, acting normally again. Any advice?

    Further update, again I am experiencing the same issue, only this time the pool is gone, but the drives are showing as OK.

    Pool Disapeared

    Update: I guess problem solved, everything seems normal, at the next reboot raw disks are again ntfs, pool is up and running no issues. Strange though!

    Pool Disapeared

    I am experiencing a very strange situation. Pool consisting of 5 disks at the moment has disappeared, all disks are ok, 3 4tb and 2 5tb, windows disk management console reporting the two 5tb's as raw, when assigning drive letters to all of them, poolpart folders are there files are ok, 95% of the pool is duplicated, the two disks that disk Management is showing as raw under their properties are showing as NTFS which is normal, their health is ok, it is possible to use them meaning reading and writing data to them. What am I supposed to do? Drivepool version 2.2.0.651 beta
  11. Is it possible to create two or more pools , with different hard drives of course, under the same license at the same machine?
  12. Well, I also asked the same thing exactly one year ago.
  13. Thanks for the assistance Christopher, issue has been solved, hard drive is ok, perhaps some data cable has been disconnected from the os drive, and since this was the first drive that was added to the pool a long time ago, it was changed into MBR instead to GPT, without my intervention, and apparently that caused its strange behavior. I learned it the hard way.
  14. Before I upgrade my Win 8.1 setup to Win 10, I would greatly appreciate your feedback by someone who's running Ibm m1015 in IT mode without any issues so far. Furthermore what drivers are you using, cause avago hasn't officially released win 10 drivers for 9211-8i. Thanks in advance.
  15. What is the best policy regarding balancers in order to remove a drive from the pool without transferring its contents to another specific drive? I don't care if the contents will be moved to other ones, I just don't want them to be moved to a specific one during the process. Should I use drive usage limiter plugin and deselect both duplicated and unduplicated options from that drive? As far as the main balancing options are concerned, which ones should I select?
  16. I installed the beta version, the pool is ok, but still I am having the same issues. The files that are in the specific hard disk are not readable, when I try to copy them to another location outside of the pool, it goes so slow, that is practically impossible to either copy or move them. I also disabled all balancers just to make sure the reason why the hdd is constantly being accessed while trying to open a file. Again I checked the disk, no symptoms of decay.
  17. The issue is actually still occurring. It's not the first time that I either moved or deleted folders or files. I've been running the pool on this stable version for a long time with no issues so far. Is it safe to install the beta version? If sth weird happens, can I go back to the stable one?
  18. Furthermore, the hidden folder .covefs/reparse lies in only 5 out of my 11 pooled disks. Is this normal?
  19. I am currently running 11 disks in my pool, mixed capacities, drivepool version 2.1.1.561, Win 8.1 pro, os drive Intel 120gb ssd. So far, no problems at all. I recently realized that there was a problem with one of my drives a WD30EZRX, or at least I thought it was. When trying to access some files located in the pool, this was not possible, and the specific drive was continuously being accessed, as if it was trying to read from it and couldn't. The same happened when trying to move the file outside of the pool. I double checked cables, data and power, swapped them with different ones, the behavior was the same. All the disks have been double checked both with hard disk sentinel and either Seatools or WD datalifeguard. No problems there. All of them healthy. I then assigned a drive letter to the specific disk, the unreadable files were in the folders of the poolpart hidden folder, but there was also another folder named .covefs/reparse. I thought that this caused the problem. Of course I didn't do anything before consultation. What I did, was to remove the disk with the usual process, all went smoothly. The pool remained with the rest of the disks. now, these unreadable files were apparently moved to another disk, which by the way, had this folder .covefs/reparse when assigned drive letters to it and was able to check the hidden poolpart folder contents. Perhaps these files are corrupt somehow. Any help appreciated as to how to deal with it.
  20. I am running into issues lately while I am trying to copy files to the pool or to a directory in the pool. It says that there is not enough space. This is absolutely not true. There is more than adequate space. My total pool is 52 TB, free space 640gb aprox., balancers are set to 99% disk full. Yesterday I had the idea of stopping the drivepool service and restarting it, together with windows vds. It didn't work. Then, I rebooted and finally I was able to move files to the pool. Today, same thing happens again. Any idea?
  21. Any update of a stable version regarding Windows 10 support?
  22. Is the card flashed in IR or IT mode?
