From around beta 2.2.0.870 the drivepool gui stops responding and services log stops updating...
 
Now im on 877 and it crashes more frequently now..
 
I need to restart my server to get it working.. and with resyncing it takes me 2hours..
 
Can i reset the gui somehow or/and send a debug report?
 

After a round of testing Stablebit's products, I've now happily bought a license for all of them.
 
I have a quick question about the location of the CloudDrive cache. Is it okay to place this in a pooled drive created by DrivePool (all HDDs)? Or is it better to have dedicated drive outside the pool for this?
 
 

Hi,
 
I'm using Drivepool (Beta) since 2015, recently bought it because it's a great tool.
 
But nowadays I have problem, there are some data hogging my SSD space. I read all the stickies and it seems Drivepool want to move my data but it somehow can't? I will post some images, hopefully somebody can point me into the right direction, thx!
A: & C: are my SSDs, every fileplacement rule is the same as the first one!

So I moved Stablebit Cloud drive from my laptop to my desktop yesterday. I noticed today that my desktop keeps crashing, was randomly doing it all night. So stablebit is in recovering mode. I want to scrap my desktop and use my laptop but when I try to attach it, it says its already attached and doesn't give me an option to force attach

The situation is, that I have run out of hard drive space in my current case.(15 drives)
 
Ideally I would like build another machine running Windows, with loads more disks, is it possible to combine disks from both machines into one pool?
 
If not is there an alternative way to achieve it? Perhaps instead of running Windows on the second box, running Some kind of NAS OS?
 
All ideas welcome

when windows starts, i have to manually start cloud drive, why?

Hi Folks (especially Chris),
 
I'm especially frustrated right now because of a dumb mistake on my part and a high likelihood of a misunderstanding of the intricacies of how, when, and why DP is balancing and duplicating to a cloud drive.  My setup is a local pool balanced across 5 hard drives with several folders duplicated x2 comprising ~4.1TB.  The local drivepool is part of a master pool that also contains a cloud drive.  The cloud drive is only allowed to contain duplicated data and currently it is storing about 1TB of duplicates from the local pool.  I only have ~5Mbps upload bandwidth and I just spent the month of October duplicating to this cloud drive.  Yesterday I wanted to remove my local pool from the master pool because I was experiencing slow access to photos for some reason and I was also going to explore a different strategy of just backing up to the cloud drive instead (which allows for versioning).  Well, I accidentally removed my cloud drive from the pool.  At the time, CD still had about 125G to upload, so I assume that was in the write cache because DP was showing optimal balance and duplication.  When the drive was removed of course, those writes were no longer necessary and were removed from CloudDrive's queue.  OK, I didn't panic, but I wanted to make sure that the time I just spent using my last courtesy month of bandwidth over 1TB was not wasted.  So I added the cloud drive back into the master pool, expecting DP to do a scan and reissue the necessary write requests to duplicate the as yet unduplicated 125G.  But lo and behold after balancing/duplication was complete in DP, I look at the CD queue and I see 536G left "to upload"!  All I can say at this point is WTF?  There was very little intervening time between when I removed the cloud drive and re-added it and almost nothing changed in the duplicated directories.
 
Can someone please explain or at least theorize?  I own DrivePool but I've been testing CloudDrive for a while now for this very reason.  I needed to assess its performance and functionality and so far it's been a very mixed bag, partly because it's relatively inscrutable.
 
Thanks,
Marc
 

I currently have Stablebit drive pool ver. 2.2.0.651 64bit. I've been trying to update to ver. 2.2.0.852 x64 but i keep getting a error message about a missing DLL, screen shot and error log included.
 
thank you in advanced

I spend almost 3hours every day trying to keep my CloudDrive+CloudPool setup alive.
 
For me its a hard job with crashe and unresponsive system and GUIs.
ReFS, NTFS, going virutal, going BETA, Clustersize, adding SSD, SSD Addon, cachesize... trying different providers, Dropbox, Azure, FTP, Google Drive, Local...
 
Nothing keeps CloudDrives working more then some hours.
 
But my latest problem is that im sleeping to long so CloudDrive removes my haddrives after dual bluescreens.
When my drives are getting removed i see:
 
[CloudDrives] Drive <ID> was previously unmountable. User is not retrying mount. Skipping.

10 drives is now 5 drives..

And now i need to force it....?
 
 
So... what to do know? Start all over again?
 
 
ok, this was not clouddrive related, i lost 2SSD´s with the last BSOD... sorry!
but can i copy the cache folder to a new drive if i csn recover the data?

Hi, I'm a new user of DrivePool.

I have an external Fantec USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure box, with 4 HGST 4TB drives, all combined in a pool.

I use this pool as long term storage for my photography raw files, so I switch it on only when I need to retrieve an "old" picture or to store a pack of new processed photography sessions.

What I've observed is that every time I switch on the enclosure, the DrivePool process begins to measure the whole pool. It's not a very big pool so it doesn't take more than 10 minutes, but I would like to know id it DrivePool really needs to measure the whole pool each time.

I've tried to switch on the enclosure before the computer to discard the "I haven't found the pool on start", with same results.

My computer is running Windows 10, 1703 compilation and the DrivePool versión is 2.2.0.863 BETA.

Best regards.

Good evening, I'm using CloudDrive with Plex I've mounted a hard drive with a Google Drive account, but every time I update my library the update lasts for an hour, I put the flag on the plex option "Run a partial scan when detected changes "my library has only 900 elements (Movies) I've tried all kinds of routing
 
main folder> movie.mkv
 
main folder> subfolder> movie.mkv
 
Using CloudDrive 1.0.2.950 BETA
 
Do you have a solution to this? do I have to give up waiting for 1 hour each time I update my library? Thank you
