Nope, still on 1803

Running v2.8.0.0 on Windows 10 Pro. I've submitted a support request, but wonder if anyone else has seen this? I'm getting an error report from DB: The Drive Bender server (Z420) has sent the following notification: A folder is missing from one of the pooled drives. - FolderName: "\{FB7F0C47-7844-40ED-BCD9-16A5D8756DBF}\DL\fonts\Font Collection\Font Collection.zip". This is the 2nd time the pool has generated a FOLDER on the pool drives for a file. I do not have any duplication enabled. I've attached the DriveBender log screenshot. It is clearly trying to create folders with the same name as the .zip file. The pool view shows just an actual .ZIP file.

Drive Bender doesn't keep a database of files in the pool. There is a function to check duplication status. I think the only way to do this would be to get a directory listing of the current pool and your backup and compare them. On your local pool it could be as simple as Dir /s /b /a:-d | sort > sortedfilelist.txt

Added to what w3wikes stated, you could disable the DB service instance reboot. the pool should be gone but the drives visible. Since your drive 1 is to be replaced, shut down and remove one of the drives 2-4 and replace it with the new larger drive, and reboot. Copy the content of drive 1 pool folders to the empty new drive. re-enable the DB service. shut down and swap out drive 1 for new drive put in the removed drive (2-4) boot. you should be good. If you are not, you can still put back old drive 1 and be back where you started.

Do the drives still have the {nnnn-nnnn etc} folders on them? Why did you issues the remove command?

Db sometimes has higher CPU when managing any io. Servio may be doing indexing or media lookups. I have Plex on my db box. I'll check later when I get home.

Did you review the setting in balancing? The default is to clear the landing zone once a day or when it gets to disk full %. I thinkmyou need balancing enabled as well (but not sure). I bet the landing zone needs to be larger than the largest file.

I needed more SATA ports so I added a Dell H310 raid controller, flashed to IT mode. All the disks attached to it are recognized by the OS and by Drive Bender, but Drive Bender's SMART software is not seeing the SMART data. I also had this issue with Crystal Disk Info, but resolved it by enabling ATA Pass Through. Using command line smartctrl.exe from www.smartmontools.org using the command -d SAT enables smart data collection. e.g. smartctl -d sat -a /dev/sda or smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda Any way to enable ATA pass through? The HDSentinal site says the H310 is compatible: https://www.hdsentinel.com/compatibility_disk_controllers.php Also the trial version of HDSentinal Pro does report the drives attached to the Dell H310 card.

I agree. I think you should also post this in the Feature Request section. I'll up vote for you!

No, i thought the op is on a windows insider build. But I'm wrong anyway as 1709 isn't insider. My bad.

Ok, you are the 2nd person reporting issues with the latest insider build. Do open a support ticket.

Yes, open case. Just noticed you are on the latest insider build. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/12/19/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-17063-pc/#d28WAIm5cFGfFCiF.97

Gonna need a bit more info. First, you should not have lost any data as the files will still be on the underlying drives. You may need to enable viewing of hidden files to see the {xxx} folders the are the pool. What version of DB are you using? I'm on 2.8.0.0 and have no issues o. Win10. Can you check the Windows system & app event logs for errors during install and start up? In Services, is the Drivebender service running?

I see this error code in many postings about windows so it might not be Drivebender. Can you replicate this doing the copy locally on your server between non pool and the pool? e.g. is this a server side issue? Can you replicate copying from your computer to a share on the server not in the pool. E.g is this an pc/network issue?
