Ive just started the trial of DrivePool and Im trying to configure it so I can use it with snapraid (vs. your duplication).
I think its working but I may have encountered a bug. I have 4x3TB drives. Ive made a pool with 3x3TB, leaving 1 for the snapraid parity drive. So far so good, I went ahead and created three folders in the pool, movies, music and tv.
I have the following set under balancing:
And am using the ordered file placement balancer only with these settings:
I set up the following file placement rules:
With the same rule on TV, but selecting drive J, I want to leave I to be a spillover for my movies (as I know I will be over 3TB on it).
So I copied some movies to the movies folder on the pool and it went to the H drive as expected.
Next I copied some tv shows and its showing up on I and J at the same time. Its like its respecting the balancer plugin and moving it to I: and also the file placement rules at the same time, so its moving the TV shows from I to J at the same time. The only thing is, its not removing the shows from I, its leaving a copy there. Maybe it will remove them on completion (Ive started a large copy), though I dont know why it didn't immediately go to J since that was the file placement rule.
