We have some Drive Bender news to share, along with the release of a new update to beta 2.
First of all the update to v1.1.2.8. This build contains many fixes and additions including pool rebuilding and repairing, updated interface (for both the Manager and the WHS addin) and improved WHS support.
Release v1.1.2.8 – beta (2011-04-12)
– Bug fix: The health monitor no longer checks outside of a pool mount path.
– Bug fix: Drive removal can now remove drives even when flagged with an error.
– Added pool rebuild / repair feature. This will repopulate a pool with duplicated files from a missing missing or failed drive. This will also remove the bad drive from the pool.
– Improved handling of file security and file attributes.
– Bug fix: A pool restart could cause Drive Bender to deadlock, this issue has been resolved.
– Bug fix: A Drive Bender WHS addin crashing issue has been fixed.
– Bug fix: Removing a mount point no longer corrupts references to other mount points.
– Drive Bender Manager interface improvements.
– Drive Bender WHS addin interface improvements.
– Bug fix: Drive Bender Manager node selection now enabling correct options.
– Added partial support for WHS shared folders to the WHS addin (see http://www.drivebender.com/whsbeta1).
– Improved start up performance.
– Many other bug fixes and enhancements.On the news front, we have heard from many users with regards to Drive Bender’s ability (or lack there of) to create network shares that can be managed and used like a native WHS shared folder. Because of the feedback, we have added partial WHS shared folder support to this release, please see http://www.drivebender.com/whsbeta1 for details. It needs to noted that this is not how the finally release will work, it simply here to provide WHS users with better integration during the beta period.
We have also announced the Drive Bender release schedule, this can be viewed at http://www.drivebender.com/release-schedule
Finally, once again we would like to thank all the users for their support and feedback.
