There is a couple of issues and questions about measuring.
Why it is not optimized / cached / smarter?
Case 1:
If there is a pool of 2 or more drives and one is disconnected for whatever reason - once the drive is back entire pool is measured. If that is large, cloud based pool with a lot of small files - a short interruption in connectivity triggers hours of measuring.
Would that be possible to cache results of previous measure run and measure only the drive that was reconnected?
Case 2:
Four cloud based drives CLD1, CLD2, CLD3 and CLD4 are coupled in two pools: CLD1+2 and CLD3+4. Those two are paired again as a pool CLD1+2&CLD3+4. And this pool is coupled with physical drive in the highest level pool: HDD1&CLD1+2&3+4. Apart from CLD1+2 and CLD3+4 - every other pool is set to duplicate all files.
Now - when measure is running it is starting from the highest level, then is measuring middle tier and two on the lowest level. So files on the cloud based drives are actually measured three times.
Would that be possible to start from the lowest level, then cache and re-use data it on higher levels?
Why it is so sensitive?
Case 3:
Let's say there is more than one pool running measure. As far as I can see this is slightly misleading - as only one pool can be measure at a time - other pools are actually awaiting. If for whatever reason one drive in the pool that is NOT currently effectively being measured disconnected and reconnected - measure on the other drive is restarted. Why..?
And is it possible by change in configuration to allow more than one measure thread to run?
Would that be possible to set specific measure order for pools?
Case 4 (feat. CloudDrive):
As mentioned above - short interruption in internet connectivity can disconnect all cloud drives, enforce manual intervention (re-connect) and massive re-measure.
Would that be possible to make CloudDrive drives a bit more offline-friendly and disconnection resistant ? In cases when there is no pool activity from users?
And can we receive some feature that will automatically re-connect cloud drives, please?
