Duplication Inconsistent - System Volume Information\WPSetings.dat

[Ratti3]

Hi,

Hope someone can help.

I'm getting an error where duplication is inconsistent. The file is the WPSettings.dat in the System Volume Information. Clicking duplicate now does not fix the problem. I have attached a screenshot.

I've tried searching and found similar posts but they don't have a specific resolution.

I'm running Windows 10, drivepool version 2.2.5.1237

Thanks

Thanks, I ran these commands and now all sorted:

takeown /f "S:\System Volume information"
icacls "S:\System Volume Information" /grant "SERVERNAME\USERNAME":F

takeown /f "S:\System Volume information\WPSettings.dat"
icacls "S:\System Volume Information\WPSettings.dat" /grant "SERVERNAME\USERNAME":F

del "S:\System Volume Information\WPSettings.dat"

icacls "S:\System Volume Information" /setowner "NT Authority\System"
icacls "S:\System Volume Information" /remove "SERVERNAME\USERNAME"

You can safely remove this file, as it's not used on the drivePool disk due to technical limitions. 

However, you may need to manually delete the file.

Glad to hear it!

I am having the same issue, but deleting the entire "system volume information" folder on every drive in the pool has not resolved the error within Drivepool.

Hi sparkrdom, did you delete the "System Volume Information" folder that is within the hidden poolpart folder on the disks?

E.g. if e: is a drive in pool p: then there would be an "e:\System Volume Information\WPSettings.dat" file and an "e:\PoolPart.guidstring\System Volume Information\WPSettings.dat" file (where guidstring can be different for each drive) and it's the second one that you would need to delete.

Yep, I deleted that too, which didn't help. I did it I think 4-5 times, trying different combinations of deleting it from the drive in question, deleting it from the PoolPart, and deleting it from all drives in the pool. Unfortunately, Drivepool continued to give the error even after reboots.

At this point, I've pulled all the files from the drive that I can using robocopy, and am am currently running `chkdsk /r` on it for the rest, and am either going to wipe it and put it back in (assuming it checks out and it was just file corruption and not a bad sector/disk) or buy a new disk.
