[Data Reads slow with DrivePool & CloudDrive]

I guess I can just hit the underlying file structure and deal with the occasional duplication mismatch that doing that might cause.

 

I say that because I know that I will forget and be in the underlying files and accidentally commit a write.

 

Thanks for the reply though.  Ill look into the other version.

[Data Reads slow with DrivePool & CloudDrive]

Hello,

 

I've done a bit of searching and can't quite find the answer to my problem.

 

First off: My software versions:

 

CloudDrive 1.0.0.631 BETA

DrivePool 2.1.1.561

 

I have a Drive Pool consisting of a local Disk and a Cloud Drive.  I am using Amazon Cloud Drive (hence the 1.0.0.631 version software).

 

My pool is set up to duplicate everything x2...and since I have 2 devices (one local, one cloud), everything gets duplicated both locally and in the cloud.

 

It has worked nearly flawlessly.  I've only had a few problems during power outages where the Pool had to remeasure and re-balance.

 

The only persistent issue I see is when I try to access files.  If I load a folder full of music, it seems to take forever while the meta-data is pulled into the windows explorer view.

 

Upon further investigation, it looks like some (if not all) of the read I/O is going to Amazon Cloud Drive to pull down this information.  Since all data is fully duplicated on the local hard disk, I was wondering if there was any way for Drive Pool to "Prioritize" drive reads?  For instance, never read something from the cloud when it exists locally.

 

Is this possible?
