I am having a very strange issue with my DrivePool setup. I have DrivePool installed on a media box running Windows 8, 64 bit. DrivePool version: 2.0.0.320.
There are four 2TB disks in the pool. On it, i have a number of share folders, that i use to stream media from over the network.
I can open the files on the local media box, but when accessing these shared files from another computer on the network, I am unable to execute any files, regardless of the file type. It will open the application, but nothing will happen. Ie. If i open a video in VLC, it won't play. If i open a notepad file, it will come up empty.
It is not a permission issue, as i can browse the folders, and even edit the names of them. If i copy one of the files over the network to the local PC, it copies in about a second, no matter what size, and will not open locally either, same issue.
I can access shared folders that are created on hard drives that are not part of the drive pool without any issues.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem is.. Any ideas?
