This question might already be answered, but I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown with this system and could use some help along with a hefty bit of hand-holding.
Had to restart the system today because Windows claimed there was a filesystem error that needed fixing. I have NO idea what drive it was referring to and, to make matters even more mysterious, no check happened upon reboot. However, when the system did reboot, Drivepool said that a drive was missing and no longer part of my pool.
A big drive. An important drive. A drive storing terabytes of data.
Upon looking at Drivepool, I identified the drive that had dropped out and then looked at what Scanner was doing. It was scanning the disk and still is given its size. The thing is, Scanner isn't reporting anything wrong with it. It can read the drive info, is reporting the sector map, there are no SMART warnings, and everything looks hunky-dory.
So, has Scanner put the drive into some sort of "It's mine and no one else can touch it!" mode? Windows' own disk management isn't even reading the drive correctly, which has me REALLY concerned.
The scan is probably going to take all night to complete and I don't want to abort it in case it really does need a complete read.
