Merging Pools; Unseeded drives not available

[JazzMan]

Following;

http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_F1655

 

Got to step 4, but the unpooled disks are not showing up to add to the existing pool.

 

Does DP still think they are associated to the missing pool?

 

So,

I had 8 drives in pool D: and 5 in pool E:

stopped the service and moved the subfolders of the poolpart hidden folder to the root of each of the 5 drives that made up E:

started the service and as the wiki states, E: has disappeared

But now, all I have available to add to pool D: is my C: drive, none of the disks that were unpooled from E:

 

I restarted the computer but the drives are still unavailable to pool.

 

Ver 2.2.0.651

Actually, could you open a ticket for this, at https://stablebit.com/Contact ?

 

Specifically, if you could grab the logs from the system?

As well as a memory dump of the service?

After doing this, try resetting the settings:

Thanks.  I came across a forum post that mentioned deleting %AppData%\StableBit DrivePool, so that is what I did, and that worked.  You might want to add that step to reset the settings (UI or alternate) to the wiki.

Well, it's part of the "reset the settings" in the manual section (alternative steps) in the last link. 

 

Aside from that, it really shouldn't have affected it like that, as these are UI settings. 

By chance, do you have a backup of these files (or could you right click on the folder and "restore previous versions", but open them and copy them and upload them to us? 

 

(Use the "Log Collection" link to upload them). 

[JazzMan]

Uploaded copies from "restore previous versions".  The first one or two are probably what you would want, after that I was just always deleting the ProgramData before even trying to restart the service.  Its not very significant to me that you pursue it, as I used the "reset the settings" workaround once I found it.  I did it manually because I didn't know I could do it in the UI. Thanks.

You are very welcome, and thank you.  

 

While it may not affect you anymore, we'd rather take a look at them, to see if we can prevent the issue from occurting in the future.
