0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I didn't see anything that "jumps out". But I've flagged the issue for Alex (the Developer) so he can take a look at it, when he is able to. https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/27300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 denywinarto Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Ok thanks christopher.. I tried moving the troubled file but it gave the same error again on the same drive My library is sorted alphabetically.,, Yesterday the error was on "B" subfolder, this time, it's in "D" subfolder chkdsk doesnt show anything strange, one of my hdd is almost full.. so i really could use the balancing feature..

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Could you do this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3018179 And see if it helps? Or remove the SmbBandwdithLimit component from the system and see if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 denywinarto Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Unfortunately, no chris, Tried the regedit and this Remove-SmbBandwidthLimit But it's still throwing same error I did limit the smb bandwidth a while ago to reduce network load. But before that Drivepool already failed measuring my pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 denywinarto Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 No fix yet for this? Running sonarr and one of my hdd is almost full.. Edit : running full version of Scanner now, it did pick up a file system damage on one of the drives, which is odd because chkdsk didnt find it, Scanning all drives now, will re-measure again after that, hopefully it'll work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Sorry, no update on this yet. I've bumped the priority and let Alex know about the issue directly. I'll let you know when he has a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 denywinarto Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 4 drives left.. sure takes a while, probably gonna be finished in 2 days.. I got 1 drive suspended because temperature equalization, will it auto-resume once other drives are completed? Already disable temp equalization as suggested on other thread..

Could you enable trace logging, remeasure the pool and stop the logging as soon as the measuring errors out? http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_2.x_Log_Collection And run this: http://dl.covecube.com/Troubleshooter/StableBit.Troubleshooter.exe And if you could, open a ticket at https://stablebit.com/Contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 denywinarto Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 No solution yet ? does this require a change in drivepool code or simply a config problem from my server? I really want this to work though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Sorry, Alex hasn't been able to get to this yet, but should in the near future. I'll let you know when he has. Unfortunately, it can be hard to tell what the cause is here. It could be a bug, but if it is, it is a very, very obscure one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 denywinarto Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Trying to figure out what went wrong here.. 1. had another empty 8tb so i copied the content of troubled drive there, (i added it to pool before) 2. remove troubled drive from pool > both options checked > failed, error: access denied 3. made the drive offline 4. added the folders in new drive to poolpart so they are in correct structure 5. re-measure the pool > same error insufficient API, but this time on different drive But the new drive was successfully measured.. So could it be because the pooled drive had an existing content before i added it to pool? Would it be possible to setup remote session for my problem Chris ? been waiting almost a month to be honest i really could use the balancing feature edit ; 6. had to undo all this, apparently drivepool already spread my data so some datas were missing when the troubled disk was offline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The problem is, that for more technical issues like this, Alex is the one that deals with it. He's the developer, I'm "just" the tech support guy. And we've very close to a stable release of CloudDrive, so a lot of the focus has really been on that. That said, if you schedule a remote support session with him, that *may* expedite the issue, assuming he has the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 denywinarto Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 So i can assume my problem will be fixed next version? Also i have another question... does drivepool override smbbandwidthlimit? I set the bandwidthlimit on win serv to 10MBps.. but copying from the share still gives me 30MBps Ginoliggime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i have another question... does drivepool override smbbandwidthlimit? I set the bandwidthlimit on win serv to 10MBps.. but copying from the share still gives me 30MBps It *should*, yes. If alex is able to identify and fix it, it will be included in the next public beta build for DrivePool. As for the SMBBandwidthLimit, I'm not sure about that. If I had to guess, is that since Drivepool is writing to multiple disks, it's not properly limiting it. By chance, for the folder in question, do you have x3 duplication enabled?

Have to figure out a way to limiit it somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Okay, thank you for letting me know, If you ahve al ink for how you set up the SMB Bandwidth limit, I'll see about looking into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Okay, well, that's easy to test. And unfortunately, testing two disks not in pools, it looks like this setting isn't exactly respected anyways. Setting it to "50MBs" on my server, and attempting to both read and write to the non-pooled share maxed out the network connection. And specifically, it looks like it only affects the traffic that is originated from that server. That means that if you start the copy to or from the server, this setting will affect the speeds you see. But if you copy for a client OS.... you won't see this ever, because it's not supported, there is no way to install the feature nor configure it. So it appears that this setting is ONLY for servers, and only affects traffic "generated" on that specific server. That said, this appears to be specifically for domain replication, hyper-V live migrations and similar operations, and not designed for client OS's.

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Is the "inssufficent system resource" error still occurring? If so: First, check the amount of pooled memory used (both paged pool and non-paged pool) with task manager. If it's excessive, you can use poolmon to figure out which driver is using up all of the memory. Or you can enable verifier on covefs and it can tell you how much memory is being used in real-time ("display information about the currently verified drivers"). If it's covefs, then enable verifier, reboot and remeasure. Once it fails, capture a kernel memory dump and send it this way. I'll be able to tell what's leaking and where.

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Okay, yeah, you have plenty of memory here .... And as for the logging, unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have caught the issue here. I've updated Alex, and let you know what he finds/wants to do.

Question
denywinarto
I have ubuntu server and i plan to install windows server 2012 on separate ssd using the same motherboard
Whats the fastest way to do this if i want to minimize downtime?
I plan to convert them all to NTFS first because ubuntu can still read NTFS..
Can drivepool read the result after that?

Yes backup is always necessary I use crashplan got around 30tb backed up with no problems at all and all that for £60 a year

interesting are you saying you can convert ext4 disks to ntfs and keep your data intact????? i have used disks that have been formatted under linux - using my QNAP - so very old drivers to do this
