I am currently running 11 disks in my pool, mixed capacities, drivepool version 2.1.1.561, Win 8.1 pro, os drive Intel 120gb ssd.
So far, no problems at all.
I recently realized that there was a problem with one of my drives a WD30EZRX, or at least I thought it was.
When trying to access some files located in the pool, this was not possible, and the specific drive was continuously being accessed, as if it was trying to read from it and couldn't. The same happened when trying to move the file outside of the pool. I double checked cables, data and power, swapped them with different ones, the behavior was the same. All the disks have been double checked both with hard disk sentinel and either Seatools or WD datalifeguard. No problems there. All of them healthy.
I then assigned a drive letter to the specific disk, the unreadable files were in the folders of the poolpart hidden folder, but there was also another folder named .covefs/reparse. I thought that this caused the problem. Of course I didn't do anything before consultation. What I did, was to remove the disk with the usual process, all went smoothly. The pool remained with the rest of the disks. now, these unreadable files were apparently moved to another disk, which by the way, had this folder .covefs/reparse when assigned drive letters to it and was able to check the hidden poolpart folder contents. Perhaps these files are corrupt somehow.
Any help appreciated as to how to deal with it.
