mr_yellow Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi, I've noticed that when files get rebalanced (moved from disk to disk), the timestamps of those files get updated. Is it possible to prevent this? this messes things up since I like to sort by date to see newest media first... Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It may be possible to do that. I've flagged the request for Alex (the developer) and he'll look into it. https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/6256 Also, what version of StableBit DrivePool are you using, and on which OS?

0 mr_yellow Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm running drivepool version 2.1.1.561 on Windows Server 2012 R2 I've just realized that it's the directories that are getting new timestamps... not the files themselves... Sorry for the confusion... Eitherway, preserving the timestamp of the directories would be great too... just not as crucial as the file timestamps which *is* being preserved as far as I can tell...

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Well, if that's the case, it may be a much more simple fix. And could you make sure that Windows Search is disabled on the pooled disks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mr_yellow Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well, if that's the case, it may be a much more simple fix. And could you make sure that Windows Search is disabled on the pooled disks? Windows Search is currently configured to index the shared folders and IE history. There's nothing that indicates it's searching directly the drivepool or the drivepool drives. However, the shared folders DO reside on the drivepool drive...

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Okay. Well, the shared folders, it may be generating new metadata (thumbs.db) and changing the folder dates. Though, it may not be. Just a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mr_yellow Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 FYI I have windows explorer thumbnails turned off (i'm running on a slow atom powered Acer H340) and the updated directories are folders I *know* I haven't touched in months (if not years). the updated directories seem to coincide with when I removed certain drives from the pool.

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Alex has responded to the issue, and you should be able to see the response: https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/6256 However, is there anything else accessing the pool drives at all? If you're not sure, or certain that nothing is, then please enable file system logging, reproduce the circumstance, and note the directory time after it's changed. http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_2.x_Error_Reports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
