I have a problem with my drivepool it consists of 4 750 GB disks, and all info on it is supposed to be duplicated. All 4 have been connected to a raid-controller, but one of the drives sometimes "fell out" from the raid-controller and wwas reconnected, to prevent this, I wanted to move the drive to a regular sataport on the mobo.
- Problem 1, I tried to remove the drive in drive pool. It never worked, it said "removing" for 24 hours without anything happening or any data beeing moved (I had the option duplicate later checked)
I then disconnected the drive, and then removed it from the pool.
- Problem 2, Reconnecting the drive via the motherboard seems to do nothing, the pool is just standing there on "pool organization" and all space is shown on "other" instead of duplicated.
I then remove the drive again from the pool, and format all the data on it. And start to duplicate the data over the 3 drives left, this is almost completed, howeer there is about 50 GB to little space to duplicate everything. I then add the 4th drive again, now newly formatted.
- Problem 3, The drive is reconnected, but the pool does nothing to balance, or duplicate the non-duplicated part, even if i press "duplicate now". If I go into "file rpotection" to count what is on the pool, it justs counts up to about 1 TB, and then restarts, again and again and again. Furthermore, even when i format the drive, some old drivepool-files seem to linger on disk 4, so I can't really start really from a fresh.
All settings are default settings.
Frankly I find this a bit disturbing, I bought the product for safety, It doesn't inspire confidence with this kind of trouble. (disk 4 seems to work totally fine as a "regular drive") if I map it to for instance F:
