My WHS2011 had a drive going bad (I run both DrivePool and Scanner). I removed duplication until I had enough room to follow the "remove" drive instructions. I think I completed the instructions successfully. I replaced the drive with a new drive of the same size, added it to the pool, then reinstated selective folder duplication as I wished. The WHS server seems fine.
I installed the suspect drive onto my Win7 system (which also has DrivePool on it). WD diagnostic software confirmed a failing drive. I RMA'd it off after writing zero's to it.
Symptom 1:
On the Win 7 PC: Every time I restart the Win7 PC I get a missing drive warning like this:
Every time it reboots. When I open the DrivePool app this drive does not show up. I don't want to turn off real email warnings but I don't see how to get rid of this phantom warning.
Symptom 2:
On the WHS2011 server the failing drive warnings never cleared out. I still have two like this
* WHS11 1/17/2015 Sector unreadable on disk
* WHS11 1/18/2015 A disk is suspect
I have the warnings set to be ignored, but any advice on how to get rid of them?
