hi, if I have 1 virtual cloud drive and I want to use it on 5 pc, should i buy 5 licences ?

Would I succeed if I instruct DrivePool to leave 0MB on the disk ? Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

I need to move my data to a LINUX PC. I need that drivepool removes all data from a specific drive. Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

I need to remove some drive from the pool and move data to another PC. The files should be all moved to the remaining drives until I can remove the empty one. Another option would be to directly move directories to the other PC without loosing the correct hyerachy. Which is the correct way to do this ? Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi Christopher, I have exposed the last part of my proposal in a wrong way. I don't ask for power consuption but total uptime (hours/minutes) per drive: 1) Total uptime since drive has been added 2) Hitsorical uptime per day (1/2 weeks or user selectable) 3) Uptime for the current day, Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi Cristhopher, I have checked everything and drive should be with no access at all for the whole day until I make some direct access. Indexing has been confined only to one our a day. Power consumption for large disk array is an important part for any user. I wish to ask a feature for DrivePool: drive on monitoring which should inform the user with 3 values: 1) Each drive should have an on/off mark on its side 2) Each drive should report the total power on for each day and since it has being added to the pool Hope it could be implemented easily. Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, I have currently installed 8 hard drives on my Windows 8 homebuilt nas based on DrivePool They consume a lot of energy. How could I power them down when not used ? Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, as far I have understood, DrivePool stores Pool data structure on C: What shoud I do If I recover a previous C: partition backup using an backup image ? I suppose Pool Data and C: data will be out of sync after a recovery. Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, after some time experimenting using Drive Pool today I have registered (DP + Scanner). I have purchased it for 2 reasons. 1) There is a general stability of the application which is professionally programmed (only few problems encountered). I feel I won't loose my data. 2) Great support. I feel at home here. Looking forward to purchase the next licence. Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

I apologize, instead of reading "GB" I have read "TB" a unit for "other space" Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, is there a way to have duplication on a different PC ? It would be good to have a "backup" NAS somewhere, either via LAN or via Internet (VPN) Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, having many disks it is difficult to identify its position. I would be good to have a way to identify which is the position inside the case for each drive. If it is too difficult, an user editable note field should be good too. Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Still Something incoerent after having remeasured everything: The "Other" space is too much. On the right side you can see no drive has so much "other" space. Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

I am just rebooting my server after performing the selected operations. I have had only this problem (bold one) following the guide: Follow: Q7200705 Open up StableBit DrivePool's UI. Click on the "Gear" icon in the top, right-hand corner. I have connected to the server using TeamManager. I have then started the UI and it kept trying to connect to the service. I have tried to open the "troubleshotting menu'" but I don't undestand what is the blue gear. Is the blue pie chart like drawing on the upper left ? (Note: the guide states: on the right hand corner) Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, I have used Directory Opus, a powerful file manager. I have moved the files using its move function which copies and then deletes from the start folder. Also, Is there a way to solve this recursive directory problem ? I mean: how I could safely remove this problem ? Should I delete the directory ? Where ?

Follow Up: After some investigation I have discovered "PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562" is the hidden root dir of the pool structure on S: For some strange reason it is "bridged" (I mean: it appears too) with D:/t1/PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562 (Note: D: is the Pool Label) Here is the FULL DEPTH path in d: D:\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\Documenti Here is the full path in S: S:\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1\PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562\T1 Surprise, I have found another link at this level (S: ...

Hi, I have added my S: drive to my D: pool. I have then moved my existing S: Data to D:\ This morning I noticed the file moving was still unfinished. I have found a "PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562" directory in S: in place of the directory name of an existing directory I asked to move. Yes, drive pool corrupted the name of a directory in S: while coping S: on D: pool whose S: is part of. I have gone deep on this directory and it seems it is eating itself as I have found a recursive strucutre S:/ PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562 / T1 / PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562 / T1 / PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562 / T1 / Note: T1 was the destination directory in the D: pool. I have then opened DrivePool GUI and it was informing me there was a problem in file duplication. Here is a last summary My pool is labeled D: I have added S: drive to D: pool S: had existing data I moved all S: existing data to D: A directory in S: changed its name in "PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562". It is recursive made of T1:/PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562 / T1 / PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562/ T1 ... T1 was the destination folder in D: pool Drive Pool Informed me there was a problem in duplication. What is happening here, Is my pool going to be totally corrupted ? How I could verify ? EDIT: I have just noticed that PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562 is located in both: D:/t1/PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562 s:/PoolPart.82dabc01-dddd-45bb-87ae-8d51c7774562/t1/...... EDIT2: The directory is "hidden" in both dimensions (the S: Partition dimension and D: Pool dimension) Hint: in S:/ there probably was a very long directory path with unusual (accented) charecters...

Hi, as I have written it the support ticket, I am still stuck at "activate drive pool license" after having activated it. Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, today I have installed a couple of additional drives to mypool drives after a bios cmos reset. Drive Pool needed to activate (by transfering) my license due to "hardware change" No internet connection has been found as my server has the lan cable unplugged and it asked me to copy and paste some string. I have cancelled the action. I have plugged in the lan cable and iterned was there again. I have tried to activate the license but after a successful transfer I have got this strange scenario 1) Still 23,5 days of trial license 2) The system ask me for an activation ID and no way to solve this situation Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, here are my settings: Prior: limit to 12 hour was selected Prior: Volume O was duplicated by mistake Error has occurred on Drive M: Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, despite having set the balancers to 98% or 36GB free I have encountered a DiskFull problem. I have set to start the balances "no more often than 12 hours" The first balancer is "Ordered File Placement". I have unchecked this option to immediately trigger balancing. Drive Pool should not be allowed to reach a "Drive Full" status... Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, is there a way to hide from the explorer window the letter of the drives used in the pool ? Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, on your site I find only 1 or 12 licenses purchase options. There is nothing in the middle. I am interested into purchasing 2 or 3 licenses. Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, I will start going deep with Drive Pool in the next weeks. I will inform you of any issues I will find in the translation strings. Giuseppe Chillemi

Hi, it worked. I whish only to report what's happening. Regards, Giuseppe Chillemi
