Missing Drive/Failed Drive behavior

[mcrommert]

Okay, just a question on how i should expect Drivepool to react in my current setup when one of my drives eventually fails and has to be pulled

So this is my current drivepool...it is made up of a 40 tb drivepool and a 40 tb clouddrive...i am almost done with the initial seeding of the cloud drive

So my question is mainly...if a drive fails on my initial drivepool will the clouddrive be queried for all the missing files or do i need to manually do something?  My goal would then be to add another harddrive and let it restore from the clouddrive.  I have real backups also on backblaze...but i set this up for nearly zero restore time in the case of hardware failure.  Thanks for any help/advice.

StableBit DrivePool prefers the files on the pool.  If you have a missing disk, then the duplicated data will only be on the CloudDrive disk. 

Once you resolve the issue, it should run a duplication pass, and "fix" the issue (by coping over the data from the surviving source.
