I recently migrated from Storage spaces to drivepool mostly for the rebalancing feature. A big thanks to Chris for helping me get converted over. He answered more questions than he should have had to and even responded to me at all hours.
In any case, I'm migrated over and functioning. However, I have noticed a dramatic drop in performance regading the pool
I run a media server with about 20 tb of data within the pool (mostly movies, music, tv shows etc). The server is a dedicated system that is accessed via various clients (Roku, PCs, apple TV, mobile devices etc). On my main PC, I have the pooled "drive" mapped and can access it. When I click the mapped drive there is about a 3-4 second delay before the contents show up. And when I click on any folder it shows it's empty....and then 3-4 seconds later it shows the contents. A similar issue is now happening when I try to watch a movie on a client (such as a Roku). It will stream fine and then it will freeze and say "loading". Furthermore, on the server itself, occasionally when I click on the pool (drive "d"), it displays similar behavior (there is a delay before showing the contents). I NEVER had this or similar issues with Storage spaces so I have to assume the issue is directly related to drivepool. I am also running scanner. Right now, I don't have any files "duplicated" as I was working through "baby steps". Any help or suggestions are greatl appreciated.
