  1. So it took a bit but that seems to have worked. I ended up booting into safe mode and removing 2 of the files, but the 3rd refused so I ran a chkdsk /F and then booted back into safe mode and could delete the file. Then booted back up normally and set the pool to re-balance. Thanks for your help.
  2. The problem is that it comes up with the 3 files as being in conflict, but if I click resolve nothing happens, it just goes back to re-scanning the pool to balance it. Is there any way to manually remove these files from the pool? I'm thinking that if it can just get past these errors it should balance everything out properly, and then I can restore them from backup.
  3. So I've removed the old drive using duplicate data later, but I don't think I selected forced removal, as I'd done that just before my original post. Here's the current status of my pool: Are there any tools I can run to resolve conflicts or remove problem files?
  4. Hi All, I've had some searching around the forums and tried a few basic things to resolve my issue but no luck so far. To summarise: Drive Scanner found some bad sectors on one of my drives, and thus told Drive Pool to move all data off the disk (as it should). Unfortunately I didn't have enough free space on the other drives so I ended up with a fair bit of duplicated data left over on the trouble disk. After moving the machine to a new case (I didn't have enough space for another drive and had been meaning to move over the internals but hadn't gotten around to it) and installing a new drive I added it to the pool and figured that would be that and all the files would migrate across. Unfortunately it seems that it's getting stuck on 3 files, and not progressing any further, so I'm left with 6 drives that are essentially at 100% capacity and a new drive that's only at maybe 40% usage, with Drive Pool telling me it's got 1.6TB of space unusable for duplication. I upgraded to (what I think is) the latest BETA version (2.2.0.672) and tried re-balancing the pool several times, but it always gets stuck on those 3 files without moving any further. All 3 files are >1GB MKVs (if that makes a difference). The files aren't accessible using the pool, as I get a file not found error, and the duplication warning dialogue just says "Incorrect Function". I've dug around though the hidden pool folders on each drive and found intact copies of 2 of the trouble files (and made copies to the system drive which isn't part of the pool for safe keeping), with the plan of deleting the files from the pool, finishing the balance, and then restoring them, however I can't delete the files from the pool either. Is there anything else I can try to fix the issue? Losing these 3 files isn't a big deal (as I have copies of 2 of them and don't care about the 3rd) but I obviously need to get the pool balance back to normal in case of another failure. System info: Server 2012 R2 Essentials Drive Scanner 2.3.2.2886 (I think) Drive Pool 2.2.0.672 Drives: 128GB SSD (System Drive) 7 x 3TB HDDs (pooled) 1 x 3TB HDD (bad sectors, unpooled, still has pool files on it though)
