I have had the check box in various states to no avail...I even tried the balance at a specific time. For kicks I just restarted the service and did a re-measure...and now it's balancing...should I have to restart the service? Immediately after install I did disable automatic balancing....

Here's my balancing settings... Here's my plugin settings. And nothing on the main page, even after a re-measure

Didn't help. I don't think I have ever seen the indication by the pool conditions to rebalance in the few days I have been testing. I have on disk with data on it that I wish to test emptying and two completely empty drive of much larger capacity. W

I am trying to prep for a drive replacement and trying to empty out the old drive. Clicked on the drive usage plugin and unselected duplicated and unduplicated files for the drive in question. In settings, I clicked on balance immediately and unchecked not more than every X hours. I have checked allow balance plugins to force immediate balancing. Nothing happens.. I am on 2.2.0.651 BETA

something just happened relative to my license??? I removed everything and reloaded the BETA version from online, then saw your post and upgradedto 3117 BETA. Started scanningmy drives and all looked pretty good. Then just now the applications window faded and said I needed a license (like it does on a new install). Strangely enough it did the same thing for DrivePool, I am sitting now and it wants me to click on the button to get a new license. Nevermind, I know why...remember I bumped my date ahead to force a rescan....I put the date back to the correct date which is a day prior to my license...oops.

I will try that version......I didn't know there was a more recent BETA version available other than the one listed on the website.

The scan finished normally and did not find any more unreadable sectors. Yet I see on the disk map it did not scan the entire thing ?? I marked all the unreadable's as unchecked, bumped my date ahead and am re-scanning....gonna be awhile.

I am trialing drivepool and scanner on a Windows7x64 home premium machine with an ASRock H97 board using onboard USB3 and SATA3 connected drives. 1) Using 2.5.1.3602 it seems that the settings-scanner-heat-warning threshold is ignored for all my drives. The default install set this at 32F and all my drives alerted at around 89F. I changed the threshold to 103F but they still alerted. I got around this by telling each drive to ignore the MAX temp threshold, but that's not the same thing is it? I have since installed the Beta version due to my next issue but have not removed the individual drive override to check this issue.. 2) I started a scan on a WD MyBook 1230 USB 4TB drive in hopes of testing it before shucking the case. It was running clean when I noticed no smart data being collected. I noticed a thread on the forums which it was indicated to install the BETA version and make changes to advanced settings. Which I did. Started a scan again and no smart data and immediately reported "unable to read 214 sectors". These appear to be the first sectors it started to scan. It is still scanning so I don't know how it will finish up but which scan do I believe?? If it ends up with only 214 sectors should I return it rather than shucking the case? Is that enough to be a considered a problem. Incidentally I have three of these and two report exactly the same 214 unreadable sectors and the third has yet to find a problem. Also is there any fix to get the SMART data? Will it be available when the drive is connected directly via SATA rather than USB3.0? It seems the other thread on here is left unresolved on this matter..
