Question is, why would you care if all the files from a particular BR were spread over different physical disks? The point of DrivePool is you no longer need to worry/care where files are placed across physical disks. If you want to bring them back together again just move them from the pool drive to a normal standalone drive (your C drive or whatever) and they'll all be together again on one physical drive, not that it makes any difference.

Actually checking more closely I think it's only taking 2-3 hours before it stops showing current activity. No one else see this? Running the latest 2.1.1.561 build.

For a while now I've noticed that if I leave the DrivePool GUI application open for a while, after some period of time (and it maybe days, not sure as my server is on 24/7), any activity on the pool is no longer shown even though I know there's stuff going on. Just closing and re-opening the application kicks it back into life again but then after some period it again stops showing what's going on. I think it's just the activity section that stops updating as I think the pie chart with free space etc. is all updating. Anyone else come across or notice this? Not the end of the world but annoying none the less.

That's why you should also run something like Snapraid so if you lose a drive, you use the parity drive to restore all the drive's contents to a replacement drive. Then it doesn't matter where files are stored on physical drives.
