zmb16 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 So I've found out that my system has had a stick of memory that went bad about a month ago. When DrivePool rebalances a file to a new drive is there a date time attribute I can check that was updated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NTFS file system retains three different timestamps: date/time file was created date/time file was last accessed (e.g. read) date/time file was last updated (i.e. written) You can use the DIR command to view these different timestamps. Use "dir /?" to see the built-in help. -- from CyberSimian in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If file A is copied to file B, the timestamps for B show: "Date created" shows the date that file B was created. "Date accessed" shows the date that file A was most-recently accessed. Since it had to be accessed in order to copy the file, this date is the same as "date created" for file B. "Date updated" shows the date that file A was most-recently modified. This leads to the apparently contradictory situation where file B appears to have been modified before it was created. I would suggest that you perform some simple file-copy tests with small files to see how the various timestamps behave. Then you will know for sure what to expect when file balancing occurs. (I have never rebalanced my drive pool as I cannot see the point of doing so; if I add an empty disk, all new file copies to the pool go to the new drive until such time as it is approaching the same occupancy as the other drives.) -- from CyberSimian in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question

So I've found out that my system has had a stick of memory that went bad about a month ago. When DrivePool rebalances a file to a new drive is there a date time attribute I can check that was updated?
