After removing 2 HDDs from Drivepool, I know have 42GB of duplicated files but I don't know where I can find them

[SaintTDI]

Hi all,

I removed 2 hard drives (Media1 and Media2 in the Non-Pooled list) and all the stuff was moved to Media6 (I:). But now I have this chart where it says that I have 42.1 GB of duplicates:

and the are all in the Media (I:) Hard disk:

 

Can Drivepool tell me where and which are these duplicated files? There shouldn't be any duplicated files, I didn't have them before.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, first do a Manage Pool -> Remeasure and a Cog icon -> Troubleshooting -> Recheck Duplication just in case.

If that doesn't fix it and you want to just get rid of the duplication you can then Manage Pool -> File Protection -> Pool File Duplication -> Disable Duplication.

If you want to see which folders are duplicated first, you can either:

• Manage Pool -> File Protection -> Folder Duplication to go through all the folders via the GUI.
   
• or if you have a LOT of folders and having trouble isolating the culprits, you could run the following two commands from a Command Prompt run as Administrator, where T is your pool drive:
  • dpcmd check-pool-fileparts T: 3 true 0 >c:\poolcheck.txt <-- create a text file showing actual and expected dupe level of all files in pool, can take a long time especially if you have a lot of files in the pool
  • type c:\poolcheck.txt | find /V "/x1] t:\" >c:\pooldupes.txt <-- create a text file from the above text file that shows only the duplicates, ditto.

The command line option that shane mentioned is what I would recommend, as it's probably the simplest option if you're comfortable with command line.

thank you for the replies !

The Re-measure worked perfectly
