Sometimes when I drag a single file between two folders on the same pool, windows does a copy instead of a move. Watching the DrivePool console shows that the file is being read and written to the same physical disk. This is also confirmed in task manager. (I have a new mostly empty disk in the pool). Drag tool tip says "copy" and the progress dialog says coping 1 item. The original file remains in the source folder. So far I've only noticed this on files with really long path names e.g. 186 chars + 93 filename = 279 total characters.
Looks like the windows path-file length limitation.
