[DrivePool not showing up in Desktop folder]

Hi,

Since I changed the drive letter for DrivePool, it is not showing up in the Desktop folder in Windows 10.  Not the Desktop itself (that is unimportant), I mean the virtual Desktop folder you see in Windows Explorer.  This means that I cannot see the DrivePool on the left menu in Windows Explorer.  The DrivePool is otherwise functioning perfectly well, I can see it if I click on "This PC" within the Desktop folder, it is just not in the Desktop folder itself (like all the other drives). 

 

Any ideas how to fix this?  This is a brand new machine.

Thanks

[Balancing Issue / Unusable for Duplication]

Many thanks.  I don't know what was going on as the normal explanations didn't cut it - I have thousands of files in these drives, all much smaller than Tb, and also the 'usable' space on the 6Tb drive was smaller than 3Gb.  If I took files out of the DrivePool, the unusable space just got bigger.  It didn't make any sense.  Anyway, the Disk Space Equalizer seems to have worked well, I have to set to 'Percentage of Drive' and its looking good - just starting a huge rebalancing process now

[Balancing Issue / Unusable for Duplication]

Hi,

 

I had 4 x 3Tb drives in a DrivePool.  All was working great, until one of the drives failed.  I replaced this drive with a 6Tb drive, so I now have 1 x 6Tb and 3 x 3Tb drives.  

 

The 6 Tb drive has Over 4Tb 'Unusable for duplication'.  Nothing will balance to it, it is just showing as free space.  And the other three drives are now full, I cannot add to the Drive Pool at all.  There are no partitions on this drive or anything odd like that - it is a brand new drive.

 

I have chosen the 'reset to factory settings option in DrivePool, but it is still not balancing correctly.  What am I doing wrong?  Why is so much of the larger drive 'unusable'?

 

Many thanks
