    Scheduled balancing >24 hours apart?

    in General

    Posted

    Thanks guys for 2 helpful posts...

    It probably then makes sense to real time balance and work out how to get SABnzbd (my DL client) to call SnapRAID update (via helper) a few mins after the queue is emptied. That would mean files in right places, no DLs in progress or unpacks and CPU idle so max effort for parity updates etc

    Related Qs

    Scenario: Low powered server & download box. Want to order tasks to avoid them running at same time. e.g. Download queue empties so then execute Balance to move files and then execute SnapRAID to update.

    Q1: How can I call the DP Balance function (with DP running all the time) just when the Download queue is empty (the downloader can identify and script calling once queue is empty)?

    Q2: Once Balance is complete how can I then call to SnapRAID to do its stuff?

    Problems with Measuring & Balancing

    Thanks. I am resetting Windows permissions right now on whole 80TB pool (so might be a while!). Yeah I had files and brought them into the Pool.   

    I am not using Disk Space Equalizer (Covecube recommends NOT to use other plugins with SSD plugin) but SSD Plugin allows ordered placement etc and that isnt happening (probably all down to the permissions and failure to perform measurement on the pool).

     

    Problems with Measuring & Balancing

    My system doesnt want to measure the whole pool.. I get random errors on some files so I assume that is what stops it finishing? I've deleted files and set them to re-download from other sources but still having issues. 

    And then the balancer in the SSD plugin is not actually moving files. I have LOTS of files (many 100s of GB) that are on the wrong drive for various reasons to do with migrating in from a previous FS and it just does not move them, at all! Even with immediate balance...    I guess cos it cannot get the measuring right?

    Any ideas as I need to get this working!

    Google Team Drive?

    Sorry if these are dumb Q but not used a Stablebit product for a few years now...

    I have a GSuite account with unlimited storage. Someone told me that CD requires you specify the size of your drive before you "create" it and I wonder how that works with an Unlimited capacity drive? The posts above seem to imply a hard limit of 9.5Tb or is a Team drive different from a GSuite account?

    Stable Bit Twitter Giveaway cheating

    I can see lots more cheaters still trying - people who follow no-one or just tweet once a week to enter or have only ever tweeted to try to win. By all means let them promote your products but they should have zero chance as they are cheating and having multiple entries too.

     

    Bugged me when I tweeted myself to try to win and saw all the fake entries. I'm after a 2nd licence as I split my PCs and want Drivepool on both now :)

     

    See this https://twitter.com/aidzburgerz/followingand guess what the accounts he follows all enter every week too.. so this guy is doing 5 entries a week....

    Thanks for the reply I found how to turn the drive on and encrypted it. I don't mind the slow upload but I was concerned about the "I may lose my data because it's an experimental provider" is the throttling the only open issue with Amazon or are there other issues I may run into?

     

    Its ACD support that holds me back from using CloudDrive...

    Aarhus, Denmark here. 1gbit/1gbit

     

    Getting ~300-400 mbit upload and ~200-300 mbit download currently with Google Drive at 20 MB chunks. Prior we did have 100 MB chunks for a very short time, where i could utilize ~950 mbit upload and ~600-700 mbit download (miss that ;) )

    Amazon is giving me similar results.

     

    Speed issues currently is caused by the HTTP response time which often is between 5000-15000ms, therefore eventhough the actual transfer is done in a partial of a second, the actual http response wait time is causing it to seem as a way slower transfer.

     

    The User Rate Exceeded is also a quite common error in my logs

     

    Tak! I'm moving to DK! :)

    Just take HDD and upload via his BB (not direct) cos it would be miles quicker..

     

    Virgin 200 has 12 upload speed official not 10...  Either way.. remains comically slow compared to gigabit up!  I can't get BT fibre but VM is fine, except they are "upgrading" my area as it got congestion recently. For 8 years it has been great and always the full speed.. until last 3-6m... 

     

    Central London you can get gigabit to residential properly (Hyperoptic)...

     

    But back to the question.. can U max your 12 or 18 upload to Google Drive? Amazon Cloud etc?

    yes but the 64 million dollar question is WHERE IN THE CHUFFIN WORLD ARE YOU !

     

    Good point.. useful to know that as well..   I'm UK like you.. but I am thinking I might take a HDD next time I go visit my friend in HK with gigabit upload speed.... ;)

    I'm interested to know what providers give what speeds for uploads. i.e. if I have a gigabit connection (I don't) which providers will allow me to maximise that speed when uploading?

     

    Please reply with

     

    1) Your upload speed (both advertised and best real world speed ever achieved or Speedtest.net result)

    2) Your provider you tested

    3) The speed you got with that provider

     

    If you have slow upload speed and you maximise that, that sort of info isn't really needed.. I am interested in which providers support the fastest REAL WORLD upload speeds...

     

    Thanks in advance

    Proper non tapatalk post!

     

    Yes, I used FR and also got licence-cheated (IMHO)...  DrivePool works well, offers SSD caching. Licence belongs to you not your hardware. Support is more active than FR (go to forums and compare Drashna vs Brahim).

     

    Offers duplication of files (not avail under FR).

     

    Add SnapRAID (Free) if you want parity protection too.

    Some issues & feedback with DP

    in General

    Posted

    Hi Chris, thanks for such a full reply... Win10 x64 running DP 2.1.1.561

     

     

    Re Other Files:

     

    I have in a given HDD root directory:

     

    $RECYCLE.BIN

    PoolPart.f3237f6a-b814-40a2-b137-07dffb12bb82

    System Volume Information

     

    Within the Poolpart directory I have 

    $RECYCLE.BIN (ANOTHER!!!)

    .covefs

    My_Video (My files!!)

    System Volume Information (ANOTHER)

     

    Q: So which Recycle Bin(s) can I safely delete and allow Windows/DP to recreate?

    Re: Folders being created?

     

    It's just empty folders it seems now. I don't have any more files in wrong places as far as I can tell. But if I see any sign of it I will start logging

    Re: Universal Recycle - I can't really do permissions as such. Wife does need to edit files and occasionally delete stuff. I'll just tell her if she cocks up its not on my head (and then standby for my imminent death when she deletes something she wanted!!!)

    Re: Sorted enumerated folders - thanks for the pointer. I'm having a general sluggishness in my file systems (I feel like I am writing to floppy disks not 100Mb/s hard disks) so am not gonna take any more performance hits. I think i just need 50Tb of SSDs instead!!
