OK.  I don't know what this is doing or why but it doesn't seem to be what I want.

 

I reinstalled and reconfigured.  J:\ (full of data) and G:\ (empty) added to pool (F:\) and set up for pool duplication.  Moved folders with 122GB of data into pool.  It started duplicating and everything seemed good.  Then after 58GB was duplicated it stopped with a duplication inconsistent warning and seemed to hang.   I tried to kick it off with a re-measure and then it started balancing and moving files.  Now I have unduplicated data on G:\.

 

So what, it moves data from J: to G: and now it will have to copy it back to duplicate?  Does this product really work?

 

thanks,

Thank you.  I think I see my problem now.  I was planning on using folder duplication in which case I'd add the folder and then duplicate it.  When I read about pool replication and decided to use it, I forgot about adding the folders to the pool.

 

I should move the data to the F:\PoolPart... directory, not to DrivePool(I:) ?

 

If I move the data to the PoolPart dir it won't be accessible by F:/folder/file anymore but as I:\folder\file or F:\PoolPart\folder\file.  So, if I want the data to still be accessible with the old path I should change my drive letter first and then assign F: to the DrivePool?  Is this what most people do?

 

Why aren't the PoolPart directories removed when I remove the drives from a pool?

 

thanks,

Tom

Just purchased DrivePool and Scanner.  DrivePool doesn't seem to be working for me.  I have a simple setup, 2 4TB disks, F: and G:.  F: has data, G: is empty.  I've added them both to a pool (DrivePool (I:)) and set them up for pool file duplication but nothing is duplicated.  In the file explorer G: has folders, PoolPart.69b1b0b9-ec3e-4d68-b763-091ae3cf340b and PoolPart.074c5ac1-95e9-4345-a513-e2f61a9e17a1 but no data.

 

In explorer DrivePool (I:) only shows the Recycle Bin.  Is this normal?

 

I had also created a second DrivePool and then removed it.  It seems gone from DrivePool but Explorer still shows DrivePool(J:) and it can't be deleted.

 

thanks,
