I started using drivepool today and found it very easy - no problems yet. But I do have two questions for those more informed than I am.
1) I'm also going to use snapraid and I assume when I configure that, I add the individual data drives to it and never the pool drive created by drivepool?
2) I have five-drives with existing media on each drive that I added to the pool. Would it be best to copy the media to the new drive (which might take a while) or can I just copy the media from each drive into the poolpart folder on each drive? There is one root folder \media and two sub-folders \media\movies \media\tv which show up in one poolpart folder so if I re-create those on each data drive, would that case a problem?

Thank you for any suggestions and information.
