Based on the other posts, I'm guessing that file system corruption has occurred on one of your drives ("U:\"), and you need to check for "found.###" folders (run a chkdsk pass, and then check), or run data recovery.

Unfortunately, this is very unlikely to be added, as we have no intention of spreading the contents of files between multiple drives. However, you could use Storage Spaces or RAID, and add that drive to the pool. And you can use the balancers and/or file placement rules to get this sort of behavior.

Is there anythong outside of the PoolPart.xxxx folder on the drive? including shadow copies, lost files restored by checkdisk, etc? Using something like windirstat or wiztree are a good way to find and visualize the data on the drive.

What the error message has said: the data returned does not match what is expected. It has been corrupted or altered, or is using older data from a failover. https://stablebit.com/Support/CloudDrive/Manual?Section=Recovering from Errors

Have you tried the commands and settings from my previous post, and from op's post?

There isn't a whole system option, currently. Adding support for it may be possible, but may not be simple to implement. That said, you can set the defaults in the main UI. Request added: https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/28678

I'm glad that you were able to find a solution that works for you. However, consider it requested: https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/28677

Could you open a ticket for this, at https://stablebit.com/Contact?

Not directly. The best way to do this is to add the pool to a pool, itself. Then add the iSCSI volume to this top level pool, and enable duplecation there. this would ensure that a copy of the file exists on the local pool, and on the iSCSI volume. You'd need to seed the pool, and change the duplication settings, but aside from that, should be very doable.

Do you have duplication enabled on the pool, by chance?

You can definitely do (most) of this. You can't specify which data to keep locally, but it should be intelligent about what to keep. Eg, the most often you use stuff, the more it will keep that data in the cache. And if you're using a 1TB drive, and set the cache to use most or all of that drive as the cache, it will fill up that drive, and keep all of that content in the cache. However, keep in mind that on the NAS, you'd see the disk data chunks and not the game files.

Yeah, you want to run it on both systems, and you want to reboot after running it to ensure that it takes effect.

Have you messed with the autotuning? if not, that is the usual culprit. Setting it to highlyrestricted can help, a lot. Try running this on any system involved: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted And reboot the system.

There is an option in the Folder Protection window to show hidden folders. is that what you're looking for?

Could you open a ticket at https://stablebit.com/contact/ then?

Generally, this means that the chunk has disappeared from the provider, which is definitely "not good". However, if this is google drive, then the issue may clear itself up, after some time.

Which software are you using? And in theory, it shouldn't.

Either the data is corrupted, or ... most likely, there may be an issue with the cache drive. unmount the drive, and run a CHKDSK on the cache drive (or schedule one for the next boot).

Shouldn't be. I actively game off of a pool, with no issues.

Make sure you have the latest version of StableBit DrivePool. If you do, then it's included already. You just need to activate it.

Unfortunately, no, there isn't a way to do this, that wouldn't potentially cause serious issues.

https://stablebit.com/DrivePool/Download Once you click the checkbox, there is a "what's new?" link that will take you to here: https://stablebit.com/DrivePool/ChangeLog?Platform=win Or you can see the beta changelog here: https://dl.covecube.com/DrivePoolWindows/beta/download/changes.txt

If you're using the latest release, you shouldn't need to install it, it should be pre-installed. Otherwise, you need to install it, and then open the balancing settings in StableBit DrivePool. You'd see them here: https://stablebit.com/Support/DrivePool/2.X/Manual?Section=Balancing Plug-ins

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Also, there are some command line utilites that deal with getting information about the pool, but would need some processing to be able to be displayed in a meaningful way. For instance: [HOWTO] File Location Catalog - General - Covecube Inc. check-pool-fileparts - Nuts & Bolts - Covecube Inc.
