Shared folder in Drivepool - Any way to limit it's size?

[larryf]

My security/video system crashed, and I restored it from a WHS backup...  I decided it would be better if I stored the video from the cams on my home server. The security server works on a FIFO delete, the oldest videos are deleted when the disk is nearly full. The problem is, the WHS 'share' will look like about 8TB to the security system, and will not stop until the WHS pool is nearly full.

 

Is there any way to limit the size of a share in Drivepool? Or would it be best to pull a drive from the pool and use it for storage?

 

Thanks,

Larry

No, there really isn't a way to limit the size of the pool. It reports the capcity of the entire pool.

 

However, you could create a second pool dedicated for the camera/security system to help limit this size.
