It scans every so often and always comes back healthy, but in that time I have had 4+ drives just show up as missing in my drive pool. I always try a reboot to see if it will come back. It never does. I then connect the "missing" drive to my other computer and run a scan, every time there has been some sort of error that has made me RMA them. Each time I cant initialize the disk giving me an error that its write protected.
Even when the disk is missing in drive pool, scanner doesn't show any errors, it just doesnt have the disk there. How is drivepool more informative about drive problems than the software made specifically to detect it. Why is Scanner not picking up any of these errors or even telling me that it noticed a drive missing? I have to get a new drive rush shipped in and shut the server down completely until I can put it in because scanner simply isn't reliable and if another drive crashes I'm toast. At this point its pretty much just straining my disks and eating up ram.
Its also really annoying that I can't tell if I've lost anything. Everything in my pool is duplicated so I SHOULDN'T have, but I would hate to need a file 4 months from now and find it not there. If everything is duplicated, the software should be able to see that the file was duplicated and verify that theres a copy that exists. It notices that files are no longer duplicated when it rebuilds.
I'm really tired of losing disks without warning, and then wondering if all my files are ok each time....and it compounds my worry every time it happens.
