OK - So I jumped in with both feet. And I may have moved a little too quickly. My server has a total of 17 drives: 1 SSD with OS on it. 12 drives controlled by Adaptec 31205 controller, and 4 drives controlled by Motherboard (in addition to SSD and DVD). the server is running windows 10 pro. I may be giving a bit to much info for the problem but want to cover everything in case it helps.
When I originally set it up it I created a pool using MS storage spaces. and then I did the trial of drive pool. My original MS storage spaces pool was 4 drives. and my original StableBit boot was 4 different drives.
Well I relatively quickly decided to go the StableBit route, as I could see no good way of continually upgrading 1 drive at a time with the storage spaces solution.
My Original StableBit Drive was not a letter I would like. so I deleted the pool and created a new pool with just one drive. I reassigned the pool to drive Z: with disk management. and added all the drives I had available at the time, deleting the storage space pool and adding those drives to the StableBit pool as well.
At this time I had 14 drives (a couple 320gb, and mess of 500gb drives) all was fine until I tried to do a share. then I got some weird "the order of permissions is wrong and may cause a problem" - I looked up that error. my solution was to do a 'take ownership" of all the files in the pool (which as far as I knew where none..) once that was done I got a message that my recycle bin was corrupt and would I like to delete it, I deleted it, got the error again, and deleted it again. From here out everything was ok for a few days. I moved all my recorded TV to the drive pool
During the StableBit scanners pass on one of my drives I got a warning that one of my 320gb drives was possibly going to fail. No problem I threw in two more 500GB drives, after removing the potentially troubled 320gb drive. I used the 'remove from pool' did not need to do any 'forcing or anything' it hadn't written to that drive yet, so it was quick and easy.
Now adding the drive back seems to be a problem? like I said I added two 500gb drives. one of them I can add to the pool. the other doesn't even show up to be added in the StableBit software. The new drives were labeled O: and S: DrivePool sees the S: drive and I can add it. it doesn't see the O: drive.
Now I'm not sure but I *think* the failing drive was drive O: ... but I removed it from the pool before pulling it.
So question 1: is there a 14 drive limit to drive pool??? or why is it not letting me add the 15th drive???
