0 Spider99 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 did the drives have files on before you combined them into the pool? if so you need to move the files into the poolpart (hidden) directory on the drives then they will appear in the pool docjl61 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 docjl61 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Yes, data on those drives I was searching the forum for "empty pool" and I've seen a couple of reference similar to yours. It just confuse the hell out of me to see the drivepool 16Tb showing the graphical 70% full usage, yet when I double click it, nothing... So yes, I need to move the files over from original location to the new drivepool disk. Just so I dont do anything wrong, what do exactly you mean by "(hidden) directory" I was just about to cut and paste the content of drive X into DrivePool D Now I believe you mean cut and paste content from drive X to the poolpart.bla-bla-bla (hidden) folder just beside it EDIT: Ha-Ha, I realize I just re-wrote your exact instructions, sorry, I'm a little tentative and I just dont want to messup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 docjl61 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 I am just about ready to proceed, but I have another question Those 3 drives I combined into a pool each carry a folder similarly named (movies). Should I copy this (movies) folder for all 3 drives? What I mean is Windows doesn't let us have 2 folders or 2 files with exact same name in a given location. I wish to end-up with just one (movies) destination folder holding the content of all 3 source movies folders. EDIT: I just created 3 folder named "Test", each containing a "test *.txt" file (* being a, b and c respectively) then moved them to their respective poolpart hidden folder and the end result was perfect, a single Test folder but containing all 3 test a/b/c files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have seen this question a million time already, sorry about that Nope. You need to move the files into the pool.
