Done. regards Per Åkesson

Hello, I have a disk server with licensed copies of Drivepool and Scanner installed, no problems running the services on the licensed disk server. However, in order to have remote control of Drivepool and Scanner, I have have installed non-licensed copies of Drivepool and Scanner on my laptop. Everytime a restart of the laptop I get a Windows notification "Stablebit Scanner licensing needs your attention". And on Drivepool, if I select my laptop in the computer dropdown, I get a warning "TRIAL EXPIRED" Activate a retail license" As I have understood, a remote control computer does not need a license. Is there a way to disable any one of these warnings, preferably both? regards Per Åkesson

Hello, After replacing a faulty disk I had to re-balance my pool. But it seems to be stuck at 99.9% Should I worry? Can I fix it? Thanks in advance Per

Hello, one of my 8 TB disk got unreadable sectors so I had it removed after DP evacuated data to other disks. So the other disks got rather full and I get warnings. Now I have added a new 8 TB disk to the pool. Will DP automatically even out my data to the new disk? So I don't get warnings of full disks? Thanks in advance Per

Ok thanks Christopher, I will try a newer version then. regards Per

Hello, it seems I can not manage my folder shares anymore. I think I have been. Whwn clicking the "Manage folders..." link I get a popup saying "Error switching to folders page", see attached screen shot. This is version 1.3.1.7541 on WHS 2011. Any help would be appreciated. Per

Thanks for your thorough explanation. I'll see what I will do. Per

Thank you, I found the balancing options with your help. In order to minimize disk writing when adding a new (empty) disk, should I disable the Volume Equalization balancer? Will the effect be that the drives are filled in order, one by one? Per EDIT: I'm asking because I think I remember last time I added disks, data was moved from old disks to the new one(s), in order to have them all filled equally, (but I am not sure).

Hello, I just wonder what are the default balancing policies for version 1.3.1.7541? Are the balancing polices configurable? If so, how? Thanks in advance Per

Thanks Christopher for your suggestions. I will look into them. Per

Dear all, my chassi is full, no more drive bays nor SATA ports, so I have to expand my storage. I wonder if someone could advice me how to expand my storage. What technology should I use? (eSATA) What controller card? It's a requirement to obtain SMART data to StableBit Scanner. External closure? (4 - 8 bays) My motherboard has 2 free PCI Express x16 and 1 PCI Express x4. Thanks in advance, Per

OK, thanks, Per

Hi all, does anyone know if StableBit Scanner can get S.M.A.R.T data through the eSATA interface of the RaidSonic ICY BOX IB-3664SU3 external enclosure? I haven't find out which controller card this unit has. Thanks in advance Per

I just tried the tree command, and it seems that it doesn't lists hidden directories, so you have to specify the full PoolPart directory name. I have a small batch file that lists my mounted drives with the DIR /S /B command each day. It works with hidden directories. Per

That fixed it. Thanks Christopher. Per

OK, I'll try to re-index. Per

Hello, suddenly the overview tab is measuring my pool incorrect: I have tried remeasured and restarted the DrivePool service, still wrong. In the pool tab it is correct. How can I correct this? Thanks in advance Per

Ok, thanks. Per

Thanks for your advice, I think I understand. I will go for the 64k allocation unit size per your recommendations. regards Per

Hello, just bought myself a Seagate 8 TB Archive disk. Just wondering about changing the default allocation unit size to 64k. Would a single small file use one allocation unit? Or could several small files share an allocation unit? I am asking since (my) video library consist of large (video) files together with small meta data files (.nfo, .jpg ..) Would you still recommend an allocation unit size of 64k? Thanks in advance Per

Me too. Rebuilt my server using Fractal Design Node 804 as chassi. Per

Ah, I didn't know that, then I'll try to use \\SERVER\D$\ instead. Per

Thanks for your offer to help me Christopher, but since all shares seemed to work but still an annoying warning was left, I rebooted the server, and voila, the warning is gone. regards Per

Thanks for looking into this. Yes in fact it was just showing "missing" in the Dashboard but all clients could access the shares. But as I said suddenly the showed up in the Dashboard and all pointing to my Drivepool, so it "fixed" itself. . But... I still have a Dashboard warning "One or more pre-defined server folders are missing" but it doesn't says which one. I email you the logs when I get back from work. Thanks in advance. Per

Hello again, somehow mysteriously it fix itself, the shares show up in Dashboard and are accessible from clients. I cannot say I did anything obvious to fix it. Strange, consider it case closed. Thanks anyway. Per
