jjbrunton Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I've just tried to make a new drive to test out bigger chunk sizes on .604 and the formatting never finishes?

0 steffenmand Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Try going in Disk Management in windows and see if formatting even began and if not, just format it from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jjbrunton Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 The drive just shows as 'Formatting'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 steffenmand Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Are you able to cancel the format in Disk Management ? If so try that and do a new format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jjbrunton Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Nope, it is unable to be cancelled. I have just tried to uninstall CloudDrive and it can't stop the service as the service is stuck in 'Stopping' state. Seems pretty broken to me.

0 steffenmand Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Try to take a memory dump and send it to them. After that reboot and then uninstall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Enable logging when this happens. Especially when it fails to cancel. http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_CloudDrive_Log_Collection Also, this may sound weird to do, by try setting the disk as "offline" in disk management when this happens. Once that finishes, set it back as "online" and see if that helps. Also, are you seeing IO/chunk errors in CloudDrive itself? I have just tried to uninstall CloudDrive and it can't stop the service as the service is stuck in 'Stopping' state. Seems pretty broken to me. The shutdown process for StableBit CloudDrive is rather complicated, as we need to make sure that all disk information is actually flushed to disk before stopping. This means that data on the cloudDrive disk itself that is being cached, as well as the CloudDrive cache itself. In fact, we halt the system shutdown process to ensure that this happens correctly. Or else you can experience corruption... hence the "unsafe shutdown consistency check" that you may have seen, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tcz06a Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I am also experiencing this issue in b606, and enabled disk tracing before replicating it. How long should I let it go before force stopping it? I also assume I would upload the logs via the form at http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_CloudDrive_Log_Collectionalong with relevant details, and a link to this topic. Edit: I did not go through the same steps as the original poster above. I created a 10 GB drive with no options changed besides its name.

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The 608 build should fix this formatting issue. However, I'd recommend the 620 build, as it fixes a few other issues, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
