    xazz got a reaction from vfsrecycle_kid in Unusable for duplication 1.56TB   
    From my reading elsewhere on the forum, i see that i should have enabled the "Duplication Space Optimizer" balancer.
    I will do that now and let you know how it goes.

    xazz got a reaction from Antoineki in Copying PoolPart folder???   
    Is it OK to do this:
     
    1. Turn off PC
    2. Remove a 1TB HDD
    3. Copy the PoolPart folder from the 1TB to a new 6TB HDD
    4. Insert the 6TB HDD to PC
    5. Turn on PC and Remeasure in DrivePook
    6. Use the 1TB HDD to stabilize an uneven table
     
    Thanks

    If i have a DrivePool with 2x duplication, and it is serviced by two USB hard-drive towers. Naturally for best performance (only USB2 on the PC) it would be ideal to have all the originals on one tower and the dupes on the next. Is there an easy way to make it work that way?
     
    Thanks

    xazz got a reaction from Antoineki in Optimal settings for dedicated file server   
    So I have created a dedicated file server out of an old HP computer, and added DrivePool, DriveScanner and CloudPool. It is going well :-)

    Because it's an older PC, I'd like to optimize the performance of DrivePool.

    (As I have an SSD, I have already installed SSD Optimizer, disabled real time-duplication, and confirmed that it is working correctly).


    What do you think of these settings:

    FileBalance_BackgroundIO: FALSE
    FileDuplication_BackgroundIO: FALSE
    DrivePool_BackgroundTasksPriority: 10

    Network I/O Boost: Enabled
    Balance immediately, but not more than every 2 hours
     
    Any other performance tweaks?


    Thanks

    xazz got a reaction from Antoineki in SSD Optimizer and first time questions   
    Hi
     
    1. I'm running Beta 754. Is this the most stable version to use?
     
    Have just signed up and replaced by WHS v1 with an old PC with six connected USB drives. The PC only supports USB 2, so I installed an SSD into the PC to take advantage of the SSD Optimizer.
     
    I see now from my reading, that I should actually have two SSDs, but that is not possible because this (Slimline HP) only has a single SATA connector. But the second SSD drive is only needed for real time duplication. This is not something I need (delayed duplication is fine for me, after all the drivepool is for backup files, so the duplicate is actually the third copy).
     
    2. So is the method to disable realtime duplication, still to set FileDuplication_AlwaysRunImmediate to False? (and then restart)?  Because the entry FileDuplication_AlwaysRunImmediate does not exist in DrivePool.Service.exe.default.config.
     
     
    3. It would be cool if I could make DrivePool Balance and Duplicate as the end of the day, and then automatically put the PC to sleep. I assume that is not possible?

    xazz got a reaction from Antoineki in Errors reported by Scanner, but not found by ChkDsk   
    Hi
     
    I'm evaluating scanner and disk pool. I have created a file server with six external drives connected by USB.
     
    Scanner has reported for one of my drives: "Damaged"   Hard disk is unable to read 2822530 sectors   It did not complete the scan, because I cancelled it and ran:   chkdsk r: /f
