Long story as to why but I am currently merging 2 pools into 1.
What this requires is that I move some files from Pool 2 to Pool 1, remove a drive from the 2nd Pool and then add it to the 1st Pool. (1st Pool will soon be only Pool)
What I have realized from this is that there are 2 features I would really like to have.
1st Feature... It would be great if you could simply merge Pools.
2nd Feature.. I am sometimes ready to move more than 1 drive at a time. So let's say for example that I have 2 drives I now want to remove from Pool 2.
I start the removal of the first drive. When I click to also remove the 2nd drive (While the first is still removing), it says "Waiting to Remove".
I understand that perhaps the system has reasons to remove the drives..one at a time. I do request that perhaps the drive that is "Waiting to Remove" could perhaps be bypassed and not have files added to it from the removal of the 1st drive, which will result in more wear and more more files to remove when its turn on removal starts.
Still learning DrivePool...but so far I am pretty happy. These are just suggestions and not complaints.
