[Unknown HardDiskVolume number]

Oh, man, the whole disk/volume/partition identification stuff is a nightmare.   And a large part of that is because it's inconsistent with other parts of the OS.  So determining what is what can lead to serious headaches.  

 

That said, i think the volume in question was the pool drive, actually.  IIRC, msinfo32 exposes some of this.
And you can run "fltmc volumes" to see this as well. 

 

But using GoodSync probably overwrote the files and reset permissions, and fixed things.  So ....  I'm glad to hear it's sorted out.

however, just in case, i would recommend checking all the disks (via CHKDSK). Or if you have StableBit Scanner installed, then wait for it to run a file system scan). 

 

Chkdsk was the first thing I did on the server and did not reveal any errors.  Will do a full scan of the all drives.    However, the disk on the source workstation showed a few errors.  So, it is probable that rogue files were carried over to the server. I am surprised that Goodsync was able copy over the smb share and also to delete them on the server. 

Diskpool Volume number was 12.

BTW, Diskpart reports the Pool size incorrectly.

Could you run the StableBit Troubleshooter:

And use "3470" for the Contact ID request?

Thanks for your quick response.  I tried several ways to delete those rogue files and at the end, using the Goodsync file synchronization app did it over the network share. No idea how the disk volume number was such an aberrant number but I doubt this was a Drivepool issue which is working fine now.

Drivepool is stuck with an error.  See the log below.  There is no HarddiskVolume21 in my system. The highest disk volume number is Volume12.  Drivepool 2.2.0.904RC erros out with "The system cannot find the path specified".  Windows cannot delete these 2 files either since it gets the same error.

Chris,

Good thing Drivepool is still stable despite so many Windows updates. But if Microsoft had broken the Drivepool with the anniversary update, I would not want to figure out how to convert 17tb pool data to RAID1 setup.  Just wanted make sure you guys have not given up on Drivepool. 

[Windows 10 support etc]

I have been using Drivepool 2.2.0.651 BETA for so long.  Why this version is still in Beta status?   Same for the scanner Beta. 

[Upgrading my pool from 5x4TB to 3x6TB : what is the best way to move datas?]

@Sekrit:

 

That is definitely understandable.

 

However, if the drive is readable normalling in the docking stations (eg, the USB chipset doesn't do anything weird, which it really shouldn't), then you can add the new drive to the docking station, remove the old drive, then physically move "swap" the drive location. StableBit DrivePool shouldn't have any issues with that.

 

Correct, Drivepool didn't give me any problems by accepting the drives from the USB 3 docking station into the pool and recognizing them when you move them into the SATA port.  Just a suggestion if the SATA ports on the motherboard are full. 

[Upgrading my pool from 5x4TB to 3x6TB : what is the best way to move datas?]

Issue with decommissioning drives is to where to mount the incoming drives during the exchange of data.  All 8 sata ports are full on my server.  I use external USB 3.0 docking station.  It can mount two 3.5" disks.  If you prefer, it can also duplicate drives but I think it is slower than OS copy.

Chris, thank you for quick response.   I was curious because Windows gave it a red exclamation point.  

[System error message Windows 10]

Hi,

Drivepool 2.2.0.651 is running on clean installation of windows 10 64bit.  Event viewer is getting filled with this error message which is logged at each system startup.  I was wondering if someone tell me what is going on?  Thanks!

[Help with balancing]

I want to remove all the unduplicated files from Drive H.  I set the Drive usage limiter setting as seen in the picture.  Pool shows new unduplicated files limit as 0%.  But as you can see, it is not moving the unduplicated files out of the drive. What am I missing?  Windows 10x64 2.2.0.651

Thanks!  

 

[Change allocation unit size of all drives in DrivePool: Best way?]

Why would you want to change it to 64 kb?   Do you have large media files and looking fro better streaming performance?  

[Setting for not to duplicate a folder]

Thanks for requesting it.  You can call this "Exclude files/folders from duplication" option. 

[Setting for not to duplicate a folder]

There are many synchronization folders named _gsdata_ spread around my server.  Is there a way to tell Drivepool not to duplicate these folders rather than finding each one of them and disabling the duplication?
