On which drive is a file located?


TerryMundy

Question

I'm receiving a duplication warning on a few files.  Access is denied.  If I knew which hard drive the files were on I could possibly address the problem at a root level.  Perhaps even take the drive off line, move the files, reformat the drive, re-add to the pool and move files back into it.

I usually figure things out on my own, but if there's not a way, I'll have to create drive letters for all drives then search each one individually to fix the problem.

Unless someone has a suggestion that would be easier.

This is a great community and I'm sure I'll receive a hundred comments. ;)

Thanks,

Terry

If you click the small gear in the upper-right of Drivepool's GUI, choose Troubleshooting, then Service log.  Have a look in there and see if you can spot the access denied errors.  I'm not sure what the string would look like, but it may have the drive's device name in it.

And are the files open/locked by another program currently?  You can browse through the processes in Task Manager and see if there are any that may be holding them open and which shouldn't be running, then try gracefully exiting them.  Or, if you can manage a reboot, that usually closes open file handles neatly, and may let Drivepool do a duplication re-check the next time you ask it to.
