@Woodp: @#4: yeah, it's kinda easy to overlook. But once you know where it is.... or install Advanced Admin Console (which is worth the money anyhow).... @ColoradoMurph: Yup, I've been bugging Alex about it. He's focusing on squashing bugs first, and then will see about UI improvements. So he is definitely listening.

I think that line of AMD processors is missing a feature to enable the IO passthrough. Because I have a 8120 and I'm unable to enable RemoteFX for HyperV, which is related to that IO passthrough, I believe. (GPU passthrough for RemoteFX, as well as other IO stuff).

#1+2: Most of that info was scraped from Windows Search... and that service isn't entirely reliable. #3: Pool duplication means that *everything* gets duplicated. Period. Everything. Folder Duplication allows you to select what does and doesn't get duplicated, by folder. And if you want everything duplicated, then yes "Pool Duplication" is what you want. #4: You mean a dashboard add-on? If so, I would agree. It would be nice. At the very least... there is a link to manage DrivePool in the Storage section. (it brings up the UI).

Okay, that would be a serious issue. Have you tried "resetting" Scanner? http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_Scanner_Q4200749 But before that, would you mind heading over the http://stablebit.com/Contact/ and attaching the entire "ErrorReport" directory?

Nope, there should be no issue with that actually. But as you noticed, when you add a disk to the pool, it does create a unique folder (PoolPart.GUID). And it needs to be in that folder.

Honestly, I really do like the clear, concise nature of the 2.x user interface. It doesn't feel cluttered or way too busy. But it still manages to provide enough info to be useful. But yeah, that little arrow can be a bit hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for.

Even with UnsafeDirectIo enabled, that may not help. Depending on the controller/chipset that the external enclosure uses, and more importantly how the disks are passed on, the SMART data may or may not be passed on. If you have the option, pass them on directly, not as "large" disks or RAID arrays or anything else. It looks like the mode should be in "Clean" based on the documentation for the 8 bay. Just be warned, that changing this mode can cause "issues". Namely, any time you change the RAID mode like this you will likely wipe any data on the disks in question. (details on pg 11, section 8.1, and pg 18, section 11.1). Also, what are you plugging the enclosure into? USB, eSATA? onboard eSATA? eSATA on a controller card? And if so, which?

Saitoh, Specifically what issues are you having with Scanner? Regards,

Not a great image, but that's the 24 port, managed switch, a punchout block, waaay too long cables, cable modem and Sophos UTM box. Misc drawers and unused spares. And my servers. HyperV system in the 1U, and my storage server in the 4U. And the Cyberpower UPS at the bottom. What you don't see is the NVR box, as it's been having issues, and I've been troubleshooting those issues.
