I'm afraid there are currently multiple issues: 1. Drive Pool Z: drive says "duplication inconsistant" - Rebalancing doesn't fix this 2. there are 2(i think it's two) Phyisical drives that do not show up in DrivePool (these drives DO show up in Windows Disk Manager) 3. Windows Disk Manager shows 2 drives as "covecube" drives - One being Z: one Being E: - I shouldn't have an E: drive, E: doesn't show up in DrivePool.
How do I fix this? and any idea what caused it in the first place?
Machine is running Windows 7, 5 drives are on motherboard sata connectors, and 4 are connected via Adaptec 5805Z controller. (one of the motherboard drives is the OS drive.)
There are 8 drives available to be pooled. Like I mentioned 2 do not show up to be added to pool Z: (and pool E: doesn't show up at all) - of the drives that do show as pooled 2 drives do not show having anything on them.
I suspect that 2 of the drives are assigned to this phantom E: pool, the e: pool says it is corrupted, and I am unable to do anything with it.
I *think* when I original made the pool it called it E: but we changed it to Z: that was months ago, and up until a couple days ago it was working happily. A few days ago one of the drives showed as offline. I removed the drive thinking my redunancy would fix things. which it appeared to (the pool went green after removing the missing drive) ... then a few days after that another drive disapeared from the pool. this is when the phantom E: drive showed up.
I mention the two drives that I beleive are empty as *if neccesary* I could make a new pool and migrate data to them making a new Z: drive?
I do not believe any data is missing from the Z: drive although I am not sure.
