I have been happily using Drivepool on Windows 10 for many months. Had some problems but they were not Drivepool's, just bad drives.
Then I tried to do a deep virus scan using Windows Defender. I had roughly 1 million files across all of my drives, but Windows Defender happily kept scanning for 24 hours and 4 million "files" before I decide to call it quits. Doing a Norton scan from a bootable USB stick confirmed the approx 1 million files and gave my drives a clean bill of health (no viruses or other malware).
So I am left wondering what happened, and suspecting that the drivepool virtual drive might confuse Windows Defender.
1) Has anybody reported a similar problem?
2) Does anybody at Covecube have interest in doing further troubleshooting to confirm/reject the problem being Drivepool confusing Window Defender? If yes, feel free to contact me through the email in my registration.
