I have a 40TB NAS and due to some interest SMART results on 2 drives, I've taken the precaution to remove them formally through DrivePool, and pass the data off to the other drives in the pool.
(2x Global Duplication, 3x Duplication for "My Photos")
The first drive of the 2 has finished the Removal Process, but it seems that it has left maybe ~20 folders (with a bunch of files) in the now unhidden PoolPart folder.
I performed a simple SHA1 check on 1 of the files and compared it to the version that is still in the pool and it is an exact match. So I'm curious as to why it is seemingly random that a few files weren't removed from the removed drive.
The PoolPart folder on the removed drive is around 400GB, whereas it was originally 4TB.
Any insight as to what happened? I don't want to delete this folder unless I'm certain that this 400GB of content exists in the pool still, but not sure how to automatically compare.
Thanks!
edit: Just a thought, could it be the files were somehow in use so DrivePool merely copied to another drive them instead of moving them?
edit2: Same thing with the 2nd removed drive. Once removal completed around 400GB of the original 4TB remains on the drive. The contents appear to be in the pool as expected, as well.
