LindsayCole Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hey Guys, Not your typical post about other space. I have 4.5TB being taken up both other. (Attached snapshot) I have spot checked drives, M:\ in this case, has 391GB of other. (Note attached) The only data on all of these drives that are loaded with other, have no data other than the PoolPart folder. Drives are only used for DrivePool, OS does not exist any on any of these drives. Any ideas? 4.5TB is alot to lose to "overhead".

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 What OS are you using specifically, and what version of StableBit DrivePool? Also, could you remeasure the pool ("Pool Options" -> Remeasure). Let us know if that fixes the issue or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LindsayCole Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hey Chris, 2012 R2. Running 2.2.0.651 Beta. Well, remeasuring fixed it. I was hoping to recover the space lol. Instead we just moved that 4.5TB into another column. At least its fixed. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 If you were using one of the internal beta builds (2.2.0.634 through 2.2.0.639), then the issue was caused by a change in the measuring system (to fix a bug where sparse files were not being measured correctly). This caused the "other" space to grow over time (especially when using the SSD Optimizer balancer plugin, but in general, as well). The .640 build fixed the issue that was introduced. Otherwise, there have been a bunch of fixes to the balancing and measuring system since the 2.1.1.561 release, and any of those could have caused the inconsistency. If the issues returns, please let us know right away. And if you're able to reproduce it, let us know how (and enable logging for it).
