It seems like me and you spider isn't on the same page here... Let me explaine: If I were to make a second pool using my Archive drives, this would act as a backup pool only. No duplication within the pool it's self but some sort of syncronization between the first and second pool(as far as I know it's not possible to apply duplication across pools). The reason for this is that the drives are Seagate's Archive 8TB and should ONLY be used as a Cold Storage, NOT for general usage which excludes storing files that are expected to be changed or deleted (jpg txt nfo etc) on the drives. If I were to use the second pool With Kodi, it would not be possible to use "nfo files only" for my Library, and because of this Kodi's library would not look like I want it to. I know there are other ways of using nfo files but for me it's not an alternative. I hope you now understand why my pool is set up the way it is. Another issue I would like to address is that there's no detailed report from DP that can guide us when problems With the balancing occur. It would be much easier to fix things ourselves if we knew the reason for why things happen the way they do. In my situation it would be great if DP could tell me why it can not move iso's to my Archive drives instead of telling me there's not enough free Space in the pool, which is not correct.

I would prefere to keep everything in one pool. As I see it, if I make a second pool and the Archive drives are full, I'm not guaranteed that new movies are duplicated. The way it's intended to work now, the latest iso's are stored on the NAS drives if the Archive drives are full. The reason why I want to separate the iso's from the rest of the files is that the iso's are not likely to be changed in any way opposed to txt and jpg files. I'm using my Movie folder as a Source for Kodi and must keep Library files in the same folder. I just installed the latest beta 2.2.0.734 and see the New feedback center. Sometimes when I open the balancing setting I get the "Can't enumerate" error. I'm not sure what's the reason of this error.

you are correct. I have a lot of iso's on the other drives but they're not moved. Sorry if I was not clear in my first post.

.dvd files are saved together With iso files. So are the rest of file-type rules you see in the Picture. Because of this I made rules that prevent those files from being placed on my Archive disks (#2 and #4).

I am currently running out of Space on my NAS drives but I still have 1,5TB free on my Archive disks. I have tried to change som of the balancer settings without any Luck. My Movies are spread over all of my disks, however I use placement rules to only allow iso's on my Archive disks. Here is how it is set up: Any help is very much appreciated :-)

Problem one: I have a drive with to many headparkings. Problem two: I have to check. I got quite a few folders and files to check so it's going to take a while. Thanks for giving me a few pointers. Going on vacation for three weeks now so maybe I manage to squeeze in a few hours here and there to check the folders.

I am getting this error when opening balancing settings. Unless DP is checking or balancing or duplicating the pool. I read through the logs but it tells me nothing, so I hope some of the super guys at the support team in here can give me some pointers in how to fix it. Allready uploaded the log... Roger.

Hi. Is there a way to leave the files on these drives untouched even if they're full?

Thank you for your suggestions. I read through some of the posts at the MediaSonic forum pages and they mentioned that the Jmicron controller had some issues with drives having unreadable sectors and similar errors and as a result the drive or the Box would disconnect. My Archive disk has a few damaged sectors allready(less than a year old) and I have now disconnected this disk. Due to low available Space in my drivepool I allready ordered a new Archive disk a few days ago and it's coming soon. I may consider returning the other one as it's still in it's warranty.

Hi! I am using a NUC as a home server. This is my setup: BOXNUC6I3SYH Kingston M.2 2280 120GB SSD HyperX Impact DDR4 2133MHz 8GB SODIMM Windows 10 Pro StableBit Drivepool StableBit Skanner ICYBOX IB-3680SU3 HDD 4xWD RED 6TB NAS drive 1xSeagate Archive 8TB 5900RPM SATA 1xSeagate ST40000DM000-1F2168 Sometimes the NUC is loosing the connection With the ICYBOX or a single drive, and the only thing that Works to get it back online again is to reboot the NUC and the ICYBOX. I have updated all the drivers and bios. I have a little less than 2TB of free Space left in the drivepool. This is not my first time harddrives are lost when the pool/drives are getting full. Does anyone of you know why this happens, or have a solution to fix this. I believe this is the Third computer I've set up to get a working system. Hope you can help... Roger.
