I'm having an issue with my server that hopefully someone here knows what I can do to resolve it. Background information:
WHS 2011 - Core 2 Quad 9400, 6 Gigs of RAM, ten hard drives most of which are 2 tb and 1 3TB. Duplication is enabled on all folders.
A few nights ago I thought I'd give StableBit's Drive Scanner a try. I'm glad I did because the next day it alerted me that one of my drives had bad sectors on it. At that time I had about 500 gigs free on the pool with the bad drive being a 2 TB drive. Because the data was all duplicated, I thought well...let's just take it out and replace it. I already had a 3 TB I had been meaning to put in anyway so this seemed like as good a time as any. I removed the damaged 2 TB drive from the pool, shut down the server, added the new drive, and then booted back up. I was able to add the 3 TB drive without any issues at all. Duplication began and once that was complete, the measuring process started (rather quickly I might add). It went through the first drive, no problems, then the second (the 3 tb), then as it got about 1/5 of the way through the 3rd drive everything starts running really slow and I can barely click on anything. Measuring got to about 15.8% when it started freezing. The dashboard freezes as well as the task manager. The last reported CPU utilization was about 25% and the RAM usage was down around 30%. Now I'm at a point where I can't even log back into the server after having logged off thinking that may help me out. My shared drives still work but it takes several minutes to open a folder. I don't even want to know what will happen if I try to open a file. Because this is running in Hyper-V (which I've been doing for years now without issue), I can still see that the CPU Usage bounces between 22-24% which indicates to me that something is going on. My question is, do I just leave it here doing it's thing for the next 24 hours? Does anyone have any idea what the deal is? I'm running the latest DrivePool 1.3 that's out at the time of this writing. Thanks for any thoughts in advance.
