Hi was following this and am lost now
- Load the HDDs into the machine (there should be hidden DE folders on each drive)
- In Security-> Advanced, open the "Owner" tab and set the owner of the "shares" folder to "Administrators" and check the "replace child entries" option, and hit OK.
- In Security->Advanced, Add full priveleges to "Adminstrators", and again, "replace child entries", and OK
- Add each drive to the StableBit DrivePool
this creates a hidden "DrivePool.GUID" folder on drive. the GUID part will actually be string of letters and numbers that will be different on each drive - Move the "shares" folder from each of the "DE" folders to the DrivePool.GUID folder,
- Then rename the "shares" folder to "ServerFolders"
At this point you should notice that this folder shows up in the Drive Pool "virtual" drive. That's what you want. - Now, after all the files are moved over, Move the shares to the locations on the storage pool
- run the "check consistancy" or wait till night to verify all the files and check duplication.
Okay fine until number 6 rename the shares i think i missed this as i now have a folder in the pool called DE.
also posted on stablebit forums in more detail
Hi i have just migrated a v1 hard drive and i thought it went okay files came off the drive till it was empty 1 of the new drives filled up with the same amount also the drivepool filled up by the same amount, but i havent any files in the folders.
All my files are sitting in a hidden folder E:\PoolPart.80ba947c-1114-4ca0-b248-efcf433b3173\DE\shares which has the folders with the files in it
My E:\PoolPart.80ba947c-1114-4ca0-b248-efcf433b3173\ServerFolders all have padlocks on them although i can access them and the only one with any files in it is E:\PoolPart.80ba947c-1114-4ca0-b248-efcf433b3173\ServerFolders\Client Computer Backups which has 2 DAT & 1 CC file in there.
Hi just copied a file from the music in DE shares to music in server folders and it appears in the shared folder where it used to show in v1 so what now ?
