  1. That's a plus!

    That said, I know it doesn't help now, but there are a couple of posts on the forum here that cover how to index/catalog your files.  It may be worth checking those out.

    Also, if it's TV shows/movies/etc, there are software that can help make inventorying them easier. 

  2. For the encryption key used here, there should be what you used and a hex variant that starts with a H.  And it won't be the same as your Activation ID. 

    If you do not have this, the drive cannot be unlocked. There is no way for us to help unlock the drive. You have to have the unlock key here. 

  3. It's a good question.  It depends on if the enclosure does anything weird with the drives.  It's not too common, but it happens.

    Assuming that it doesn't do anything weird, you should be able to power off the system, pull the drives, and then move them over to the new enclosure. No issues, no fuss. 

  4. Well, file system errors can be caused by a whole bunch of reasons.  But if DrivePool is also evacuating a drive, then it's likely because Scanner also marked that drive as bad.  So, if this is all the same drive, it could be that the drive in question is actively trying to fail.  

    And sometimes, new hardware isn't a bad idea.  If you do, I recommend something that supports ECC memory. 

  5. Hold hostage, no. 

    But if there was a file system error, the repair process may take the volume offline to fix it.  This is normal, and part of how CHKDSK (and related API) works.  The disk scan from windows, CHKDSK and the file system check in StableBit Scanner all use the same API/method, and can do this. 

     

  6. You also opened a ticket for this. 

    But to repeat what I said there, and echo what vapechiK said, 

    This is perfectly normal, and expected.  In all cases, here. 

    the pool drive itself is fully virtual, but doesn't have any blocks/data on the drive. All of the data is "reverse proxied" to the underlying disks, and handled invisible.  So CHKDSK won't work on the drive, and it does not appear in StableBit Scanner.   And the size is normal, as Windows needs a size before that can be properly read, so the 2TB size is a placeholder.

    Having this same problem.  Doesnt look like a solid answer was figured out here.  Curious if anyone's had this issue and resolved it?

    Mostly, because this is a complicated issue, and there isn't a "one size fits all" type solution. 

    There are a number of things to try:

    1. Run "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted" on both systems, from an elevated command prompt, and reboot the system.
    2. On the Network Adapter properties, disable any setting with "offload", or "checksum". Disable "green" features, and Interrupt Moderation, if present.  Enable flow control, and disable jumbo packets (or toggle them, as they can help in some cases)
    3. Update the drivers for the network adapters
    4. Check for any antivirus software, and (temporarily) remove them
    5. Disable Windows Search on both systems.
