Kermit Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi, I have a folder with duplicated data on my system. Can i just copy parts of the duplicated data from one disk in the pool to another disk in the same pool ? (So from e: \poolpart....\duplicated\folderx to f:\poolpart....\duplicated\folderx ) Do i have to deaktivate the service before or do a re-measure of the pool afterwards ? (I have automatic balancing deaktivated) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 yes, you can do that. However, yes, you want to stop the service temporarily (you can run "net stop DrivePoolService" to stop it, and "net start DrivePoolService" to start it back up). Otherwise, it may try to move data, as well. And yes, once you start the service back up, you will need to initiate a remeasure of the pool. However, depending on what you're doing, and the balancing settings, there may be a button to initiate the balancing/duplication manually.

0 Kermit Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks for the info ! I have a setup with snapraid and different sized disks and i did not manage to configure the automatic balancer to do exactly what i want. I now did it by hand and everything seemed to work just fine ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
