Pool remeasures when taking disk off line to run chkdks any way to prevent this

[DOS76]

Stablebit Scanner is reporting an error with one of my files systems and then when using the repair option in scanner it can't fix it (which is usually the case)  So I go into file explorer and run the tool from in there and it has to take the drive offline while doing so to repair in that time the pool will reset itself and have to remeasure then check then duplicate then finally balance which takes forever with my set. Is there anyway inform it you are taking a drive offline so it doesn't reset itself.

Nope, and you wouldn't want it to. 

Specifically, CHKDSK takes the disk offline, and it's not longer accessible by our software. And contents may be changed while this happens (in fact, that's the idea, to find/recover/fix data). 

Since that data may no longer be the same, you WANT it to be remeasured, to make sure it's the same data.

Okay that makes sense

Glad to hear it. 

And yeah, it's much more understandable when you know what's going on under the hood (which is why we try to give verbose answers, whenever possible)
