FYI - I deleted the new shares I added via Windows Explorer and can now see my drives and shares via the dashboard. Still can't add/rename/etc from the dashboard... -uberpixel

Hmm... Server backup only goes back a couple of days. I can at least recover from the recent setback but probably not far enough back to resolve the initial problem. Logs have been sent. Thanks for taking a look. -uberpixel

Pool is now healthy (duplicated and balanced) but I still can't add/modify shared folders from the dashboard. I assume by "directly" you meant by using Windows Explorer. I tried that and successfully added and shared a folder. It shows up as a shared network folder on my client and on the server in Windows Explorer but does not show up in the dashboard even after a full restart. Next I tried the fsmgmt.msc to add a share. It allowed me to add the share - shows up in Windows Explorer. Does not show up in the dashboard. Tried a full restart - now the dashboard will not show anything other than "Refreshing the list of items" for both the "Server Folders" and "Hard Drives" tabs... Not cool. Pool tab shows the pool as before. Files are still intact but the dashboard is hosed. Do you want me to send a fresh log file now that the duplication issue has been resolved? -uberpixel

I added another drive and still have the same problem. It's currently duplicating. Once it's done duplicating I'll restart and try adding a folder again. I can't rename, add, or change the description of the folders in the pool... -uberpixel

I should say - while healthy, one of the drives in the pool reports that it is completely full and is unable to rebalance due to duplication settings. I intend to add another bare drive tonight but want to make sure my install is healthy before I do anything more. -uberpixel

I have a relatively fresh install of WHS2011 and I am trying to add a new folder to the pool in Drivepool. To add a folder I've tried the following: Open WHS2011 dashboard Go to Server Folders and Hard Drives Tab Server Folders Tab Select "Add a Folder" or "Add a Folder to the Pool" from Server Folder Tasks on right side (same results for either options) Add a folder window pops up with dialog that it is "Adding the folder..." but then nothing happens. It just hangs. I notice the same behavior if I try to rename a folder (not a WHS default folder). Any thoughts on how to fix this? -uberpixel
