StableBit DrivePool for Windows Home Server Build 1736

The other of the three Windows Home Server Drive Extender replacements comes in the form of StableBit DrivePool and build 1736 was just released of the beta.

• Combine all your hard drives into one big storage pool (except the system drive with the OS).
• Add and remove drives from the pool at any time without re-partitioning or manually moving folders.
• Create duplicated folders on the storage drive pool that are protected against single drive failure. If a drive fails on which a duplicated file was stored, the contents of that file will remain readable even without the drive.
• All your data is stored in standard NTFS files. You can always access your files even if the Windows Home Server completely crashes or this add-in can’t be used.

The changes in this version are:

Implemented installation upgrading. Uninstall of the old version is not required anymore. A reboot is optional, depending on the files updated. Reboot is indicated on the last step of the installer. Dashboad tab UI will also indicate a reboot required.

Fixed locking issue in enumerating open file contexts.
