I am recovering a drive I pulled out of a hot swap box ( the drive lost the drivepool partition because I didn't unmount the drive from Windows first).
I now have all the recovered folders/files sitting on a spare drive (thanks to WonderShare Data Recovery) and am slowing copying them back to the pool.My questions is this:Is there some difference between using Windows 7 copy, vs Win7 move? (as far as the drivepool emulation is concerned?)What I have noticed is this: (I know how to force Windows to copy or move, as I need to of course)a) If I use "copy", I may or may not get a "merge folders" dialog, and a "these files are already present, replace or no?) dialogs. If I use copy,it will often times just look like its copying, I will come back after some time, expecting to see a merge dialog up, and I see nothing. No copy going on, no dialogs, nothing. Like it just copied the first few folders and then stopped?If I use "move" on the other hand, it seems to always do a reliable deep transfer of files all the way down the tree, across all folders, very reliably.I was not aware to expect different behaviors between these 2 operations, except of course, files that are moved will be deleted from the source drive.I am of course, copying from a spare recovered filed drive, to the emulated pooled drive.I assume this is not a bug in windows. I'm thinking it's a bug in DrivePool filesystem emulation?I'm on version: 2.1.1.561Anyone else ever notice this behavior? -
I've moved it around, that's standard procedure. This is such a strange problem, I doubt anyone has seen it before me.
I've tried it in 2 different external docs, vs the internal desktop bay, and various internal bays. Identical behavior, even when I use a different disk drive with a cloned filesystem of the original.
1 drive of 16, one drive only.It's taken me a while to isolate it, and never really have been able to..- The drive is a problem regardless of drivepool service is running, or not. Windows 7 not happy..- The drive is a problem even if I clone the drive (with cloning dock) to a new identical clone of the drive.- The drive is a problem and constantly dismounts, remounts, even if I plug it into an external e-sataenclosure, or have it on board my desktop pc internally.- The drive will not remove from the drivepool; it will dismount before operation can finish.I've been pulling the files off the drive, in anticipation of not being able to use the filesystem that'son it (which I have attempted to scan and fix several times). Something with the filesystem, and Windows 7 does not like it.I can use the drive in a dock, and read the files fine with a Mac.. and copy them to a new disk, newfilesystem, and that works just fine.So I assume once files are rescued, then I can just format the drive(s) and they will work again.Can you please point me to the most recent documentation, on how to replace a drive that will not Remove in the normal fashion, from the drivepool? -
I have been using StableBit DiskPool for several years. I'm a true believer.
I rarely have to touch it, sometimes it goes a year at a time without much attention.
But recently, I see something I don't understand. My U: drive, is up and down, on and
off the pool. It gets reported as off, and within a few seconds it has reconnected.
I have installed a power supply I think is big enough, since most of the disks are in
an external enclosure with it's own power. I don't see this same problem with
any other drive.
I have moved the drive to different location in the cabinet, to test wires, power, etc.
When I put it in an external dock, still does same thing..
So I cloned it to an identical new drive, and put it back in the main cabinet. New drive,
still does same thing. I have run dskchk on it, and it has a few problems, then it should be ok.
Every time I reboot, dskchk wants to give it some attention, but not that much, so I'm not sure what to do now. I've moved the data to a new drive, same issue; I'm thinking filesystem problems..
This may be a Windows thing, but still, it's got exclusively DiskPool files on it. And I have attempted
to remove and add it back to the pool. No help.
I am a veteran windows user, and I have tried everything I can think of (so far) to isolate this to a disk, or filesystem, or something I can deal with directly to fix it.
I'm seriously thinking of adding a new drive to the pool, then migrate files off the new U: drive, and see what that does for me, but I can't imagine that should really be necessary.
Any suggestions?
Folder Duplication - backup file of settings? Settings lost with C: SSD failure
in General
Posted
I lost my C: SSD drive some time ago. I seem to have lost a good working backup of it as well...
So I installed a new Windows 7 on a new SSD. I now have the pool back up and running, with 1 difference.
I don't know how to restore my Folder Duplication settings precisely as they were.
I have a few questions regarding how drivepool will act for me, so please follow, and I'll be brief:
