Unable to write large files to drivepool

[ps1]

Hi all,

I am unable to copy any new files to my drivepool even though 20+TB of free space, everything was working fine until a few days ago when I mistakingly did a win 11 update, now rolled back to win 10 but whenever I try to copy a larfge file it starts of fine at 100MBs speed as per normal but after a few seconds drops to kb/s or just 0, doesn't give any errors just slows to a stop. Does this over network or from drive not in pool which can copy to fine.

Any help much appreciated

Perhaps try uninstalling and reinstalling DrivePool, with a restart of the computer inbetween. It might be needed to get the DrivePool file system drivers talking with Windows again?

Think I sorted this yesterday by following the instrustions on resetting permisions. Will confirm later this week.

Still stuck. Re-installed drivepool and same so tried a reinstall of windows and still the same. Can write to shared file on C drive but can't then copy that file onto the pool, just sits there doing nothing...

What level of reinstall did you do for Windows?

[ps1]

from the windows update/restore page, choosing not to save any personal data

Given you've already chosen not to keep personal data, at this point personally I'd do a bare metal install of Windows - that is using external install media (e.g. USB or DVD) and choosing to delete the existing OS partition entirely so it doesn't retain any system files/configuration at all from the previous install.

Also, could you open a ticket at https://stablebit.com/Contact

Also, as shane mentioned, if this is a USB drive, they can ... behave oddly sometimes. Especially if you have them in the pool. 

Also, if you have duplication enabled on the pool, and one of the drives is having issues, it can cause this sort of behavior, too.

Latest update, reinstalled windows from usb stick and did updates etc, then reinstalled drives and drivepool and so far after trying 4 files (3 approx 30GB and 1 approx 70GB) and things seem to be working so thanks for the suggeestions and will report back if anything changes.
