I activated the first DrivePool back in January on a server 2019. All was well and never had to make any change, except to use it. Due to the success, I am activating a second DrivePool on a PC. This time, I started with a drive that is almost full of data, so some confusion that need help. Sorry. Here are the steps that I took:
1> PC has 3 drives: C (System, 1TB), D (new volume, no data, 12TB), E (folders with data, 12TB)
2> Installed & activated DP app -> DP created new drive letter F (volume name DrivePool, no data, 2TB) ?????????
3> Within DP app -> Added Drive D + E -> Remove Drive Letter D & Changed it's volume name to DP1
4> Changed Drive E name to D.
Questions:
a> What is that new DrivePool (drive letter F, 2 TB)? shouldn't it be 24 TB (the total of Drive DP and Drive Family-Media D). See picture #3.
b> I'd think, and would like to have, both (Drive DP and Drive Family-Media D) be within DrivePool F and drive letter D be changed to DP0.
Please advise what (and how) to do, as I'm confused.
