Tourniquet 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 Hey there, i've got a major problem -.-' Today i exchanged two (non-pool related [one removed from the pool]) drives from my 'Media-Server'. After i powered the computer back on, windows on everytime when the drivebender services starts. Because i had problems in the past i set the drive bender service to start *later* to get the change to stop it. But i can't even move the mouse pointer or something. When i start in safe mode and deactive the drive bender service, everything is fine again....but now i don't have access to my pools anymore I had the problem with the *stable* release, and updatet da couple of mins ago to the beta, but there i got the same error. All errors were caused by 'fileinfo.sys' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, 24GB. Is that a database file or something? I don't have anything that big to test with. Biggest I have are VOB files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lemkeant 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 Just wanted to check in and say that I was confirm the same NFS issues as generious did earlier, but Im on WHS 2011. Evertything else seems to be going ok (but I have yet to copy any new bd iso's to my pool) Thanks for the work and adding NFS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobwaw 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 Has something changed withthe latest beta? I can not move the original WHS2011 folders to the pooled drive. It is coming up with an unexpected error. Like it used to do from the earlier drive bender versions. I know the move folders option was working before in some of the other versions. Has anyone tried this? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
w3wilkes 169 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 @bobwaw, How weird! After reading your post I went to verify on my WHS2011 box. I keep a folder outside the DB pool for just such testing and I was able to move it to the pool with no trouble. Also moved it back out of the pool with no trouble. You should probably open a ticket http://support.drivebender.com/home and report the specifics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rar1942 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 I routinely move files as large as 50 gig from an uncontrolled drive to the pool with no trouble (except it seems to take a long time.) I use the Windows Explorer to do the moves. The only time there has been a hiccough has been when a drive was trying to fail. I offer this only to show that, some places, it does work. I have been running the Tomcat beta since about 8 hours after it came available, and the only reboot has been produced by WHS maintenance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proper88 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 hi, rar1942 Ok it take a long time, with 1.2.2.2 the copy process is much fuster. during the copy process the pool disappears and after a few secondes the pool comes up again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NedB 2 Report post Posted February 23, 2012 Rebuilt a new server after my Previous WHS 2011/Drive bender hardware failed. First installed 1.2.2.2 and created pool, but could not move the standard folders to the pool. I upgraded to 1.2.4.5 and move folders worked just fine. Good Timing!

rar1942 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2012 I had an interesting thing happen last night - one of my new 3TB drives Went Away, and an unpooled 2TB drive joined it. Moving the drives and rebooting did nothing good. Finally, I remembered a couple of months ago using the motherboard SATA ports for things other than the C: drive. I had a port mux available, so I moved the drives from the motherboard to a port mux connection, fired the machine back up and it's all good again. It seems like the motherboard SATA ports were not all I might have wished - it seems to work just find for the C: drive, but gets flaky when I put a big load on it (like copying a couple of terabytes of new stuff from my NewsBin drive to the pool.) I don't know that this constitutes a Universal Truth, but from now on I intend to avoid using the motherboard ports for anything other than O/S purposes.

adampk17 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2012 I've been running 1.2.4.5 on WHS 2011 for about a week now without problem. Today I installed a number of windows updates (KB2467173, KB2528583, and a Silverlight update 4.0.60831.0) After the reboot to finish installing these updates the Drive Bender service is stuck in a 'starting' state and obviously my pool is unavailable. I have tried uninstalling KB2467173, but not KB2528583 (a SQL 2008 service pack), or the Silverlight update. No dice. What do you think I should do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lemkeant 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2012 I seem to be having an issue with security. I have it disabled and have even rebooted to verify its disabled. The issue Im having is that I cant delete a folder, that has sub-folders with data in it when in the pool. WHS 2011 says it doesnt have permission. For example I have a folder named "music" with sub folders "rock" and "rap". Rock and rap each have a mp3 in it. If I try to delete "music", it wont let me saying I dont have permission. However, I am allowed to delete "rock" and "rap" individually, and then go and delete the now empty "music" folder. This has been an issue since I went to the beta, but havent really had the time to tinker. Anyone else have this issue/verify? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simoncwhitfield 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2012 Just installed this beta and currently every file in my whole pool is now being renamed with a (1) and I see them twice in every folder. Before the update (over the top) to this beta I had my pool duplicated. In System Notifications I see thousands of "A file has been found that appears on one or more drive in the pool. As a result the file has been rename from..." Looking in Running transactions and tasks for some reason it is running a duplicating files task which seeing as I had duplication already set at the top level of my pool everything should of already been duplicated. Also I have just noticed that my free space is actually increasing. Going to leave it running while at work and see what state it is in when I get home. EDIT: Sorted this. There was rogue entries in the registry that related to nonexistent disks. These got added to my pool as a disk and where found to be duplicates. Once removed the rogue entry from the registry the "duplicates" disappeared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
