I have a pool on my R510 that spans 7 drives. They're mostly a mix of 2-3TB drives with a small partition carved off my OS drive for some extra redundancy. I protect with SnapRAID, and it has been running pretty well for the past 9 months.
I recently upgraded backup solution, a couple of 8TB external USB drives that I attach to my desktop and pull files across using FreeFileSync. It seemed to be working well, though today when I went to watch a couple of Christmas specials, I noticed I could not read them from my server. I could read them fine from my backup drives (just sync'd last night) so I copied them back to my server from the backup drives and all seemed well. Then I spot checked a few more movies on my server and noticed they were also "corrupt." I could not read them across the network or locally on my server through the pool. I attempted to read them at the file level by snooping inside the poolpart folder on the drives and I could read them fine, so this seems to be related to the pool itself and my data is actually intact.
I've remeasured the pool and it seems like one drive has a lot of data that is just considered "other" and is not actually incorporated into the pool, despite everything being in the poolpart folder. Any ideas on this one other than removing the drive and adding it back?
