GPT Protective Partition

Hey guys,

 

 

A few weeks ago Scanner notified me a drive was failing. I got a replacement drive, plugged it in via USB (ran out of SATA ports), and added it to the pool and removed the failing drive from the pool. Drivepool did its thing and all was well.

 

Last week I moved the drive from the external USB case to my 8 bay hot swap tower connected via eSATA to my computer. Did it with the power off, and when it powered on, the disk initialized, thought all was well but I didn't verify the data was still there.

 

Last night I got a notification that a good amount of data was missing. I went in and noticed the HDD I replaced was missing in Drivepool. Went into Disk Management and noticed the drive is now a 2048gb GPT Protective Partition with 1678 unallocated. This is not how I had setup the disk obviously.

 

I can't change any settings on the disk as all options are greyed out. This is the first time this has ever happened. I've added 4 drives over the year to this pool with zero issues. 

 

I read this thread: http://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/1774-gpt-protective-partition/?hl=protectiveand their issue was software but I'm not running the same software. These are the only apps that should be accessing the drive.

AV: Avast Free

Backups: Crashplan and Arq. Arq hasn't touched the pool that the drive was on though.
