So, I am looking at moving to StableBit (v2.1.1.561) from DriveBender due to what I see as slow performance when trying to access files in the pool. StableBit seems much snappier when trying to read/write to the pool, as well as when trying to get things like file sizes and counts from Windows Explorer. However, I am confused by the apparent limitation when a new pool is created of 2TB (in the CoveCube virtual disk). I am attempting to create a single pool of 3 x 4TB drives, with full duplication. When created, this pool only shows as 2TB in Windows Explorer, as does any pool created with a disk larger than 2TB.
I also perform regular backups of the large shares that will be contained on this pool, and am concerned about that 2TB limit. I am not even sure I would be able to place the content in the pool, as I am simply trying to copy these files across the network. What will be the limitations of dealing with files both on the native windows machine, and across the network (\\server\sharename)?
Has this limitation always been in DrivePool, and will it ever be removed?
Sorry for the newbie question, perhaps I am missing something.....
