Hello I did some researching looking for storage pooling software, and I believe Drivepool suits my needs. Im using SnapRAID to provide Double Parity (so few drive/file level parity software offer multiple levels of parity) to 14 Drives. I only want the Storage Pooling functionality, no duplication, balancing, or any other involvement from Drivepool which would move files or add extra data to my existing drives. Ive disabled all the plugins, and turned off balancing and duplication, however because I added the drives BEFORE I turned off duplication, it seems to have duplicated 6.5 GB of data. How can I 'unduplicate' this without manually doing it and messing up Drivepool. Snapraid reports that a couple of the files that Drivepool has duplicated are missing, and Drivepool reports that some of the Duplicated files are messed up (Probably because I did an initial test build of the parity data WHILE drivepool was doing some duplication?). In either case, I can delete the Snapraid parity data and rebuild it from scratch once I sort out the DeDuplication issue. Do I have to remove my Drivepool 'pool' and recreate it to remove this random unwanted duplication? Any advice would be appreciated to help me setting on purchasing Drivepool for my setup. Thanks!
