0 jnits Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Have you tried a re-measure to see if it sorts the issue? I did, but no dice. Please note however I have a large copy still running. After it finishes I am going to try to upgrade to the latest beta (found a link on the forums), restart my computer, and then remeasure. Maybe that fixes the issue. I have around 5 hours left on the copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Spider99 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 do you have real-time dup turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jnits Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 do you have real-time dup turned off? No, its on. That's why i was concerned when files were showing as unduplicated in the main view during the copy. But the folder view shows 100% duplication, so it is inconsistent. Additionally looking at the logs, I do not see any errors saying expected=2,found=1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Spider99 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 with the copy running - is the un dup figure changing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jnits Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Nope, it was staying solid. I disabled duplication for a few minutes which queued the deleting of files (and hence the growth of that number) and then re-enabled it and it settled back down to 6.14GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jnits Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Okay, so upgrading to 2.2.0.734 fixed the issue. Is there a reason this beta isn't linked to on the download page? Once I did that, the pool correctly identified their were duplication inconsistencies and allowed me to fix. This left me with 72B unduplicated and an error message: "System Volume Information\IndexerVolumeGuid file parts different." I was able to fix this following instructions from previous threads posted to this forum. Now - everything appears to be running smoothly, but I am curious why one disk has such a large amount of "other" files. E & G are both 8TB drives that I bought expressly for the pool and have no other files on it. I would have expected similar amounts of "other" allocation on them. At one point they were close, but G's shrunk considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Spider99 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Have a read of this http://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/2456-other-files-and-sys-vol-info/ a few options depending on OS version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jnits Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Due to some issues with 2.2.0.734 (background service repeatedly not starting, and "Unable to enumerate folder error" ) I went back to 2.2.0.651. I have actually already fixed the "other" space - turns out the E:\ "System Volume Information" (outside the poolpart folder) was 700GB. Somehow all the files had no owner and I was unable to take control via Windows 10, so i just deleted that folder through a Linux live CD. Now, everything seems like it is working. When I first start drivepool, it still warns me of duplication inconsistencies but I am able to resolve it through the software. I also tried setting duplication to 1x for "System Volume Information" but after my first restart I still received the warning about duplication inconsistencies for that folder. At that point I was out of time, so hopefully my next restart won't have that, but even if it does, it seems DrivePool is able to resolve it without me having to do any more tweaking. I'm running a scan on all my disks right now just to make sure the file system is still intact from the work I did in Linux, and hopefully I can add the remaining 16TB to my pool later tonight. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 yeah, this needs to be clarified. Specifically, StableBit DrivePool does differentiate "originals" from "copies". They're all copies and considered this way. The exception here is the folder duplication window. This shows the "size" as a measure of unduplicated data, and the FIRST copy of duplicated data. The "duplication" is all extra copies. So, if you do have roughly 7.7TB of duplicated date, then yes, this will show up as ~15TB on the main window.

0 jnits Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 This shows the "size" as a measure of unduplicated data So why isn't this window reporting size as being 6.12GB larger than the "duplication" figure? It matches to the byte - when the pool is set to 2x duplication, that would make me think the entire pool is 100% duplicated, but the home dashboard shows that is not the case. Seems like a bug to me, especially because the pool wasn't attempting to duplicate the missing 6GB until i upgraded to the latest version, which wasn't very stable for me, so I downgraded again (but that could have been related to my System Volume Information troubles).

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Tracking issues with the measuring code. The folder duplication window is generated in real time (which is why it takes a while to populate. There are a number of tracking and measureing issues with the public beta that work fine in the 2.1.1.561 version but have been fixed and improved in the latest public beta. http://dl.covecube.com/DrivePoolWindows/beta/download/StableBit.DrivePool_2.2.0.738_x64_BETA.exe If you install this version , it will remeasure the pool and should display the correct info.
