I've always assumed this was DrivePool, but I'm double checking/asking if there are any mitigations.
I've noticed with a couple of fairly common operations, I'll run into pauses on the Drivepool disk that I don't see typically. Primarily I noticed this when I create a new folder, rename a folder, or a delete a lot of things. When creating or deleting, there is a several second pause. Same with a rename. It's somewhat annoying because I'll often get an error because of the pause, because I'll create a new, rename it, and try and enter it. But the pause between the create and rename means my system tried to enter "New Folder" not the name I just renamed it to. With deleting, it'll stick at 99%, sometimes for quite sometime.
I'm guessing it's something to do with DP updating it's indexes, before telling the OS the operations are complete, but if there's a way to improve performance of this, I'd be interested in knowing what it is. Or especially if it's not supposed to do that.
