StableBit DrivePool Moves to Beta M4 Build 5669

There has been another beta build from CoveCube! StableBit development marches on – now its beta M4 build 5669.

Here is how CoveCube describes this application:

• 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.

This version’s change log:

1.0.0.5669 ———-

* [D] Fixed compatibility issue with volume shadow copy service (for non-pooled drives). It is a good idea to reboot BEFORE upgrading to this version, just in case VSS is locked up. If VSS is locked up while upgrading, the upgrade will lock up: In that case, Reboot -> Dashboard -> Remove DrivePool -> Reboot -> Install latest build.

* Fixed M4 migration issue causing “Access denied” error.

* [D] Workaround for issue in rdbss (bug?) that denies a flush on a read-only handle. This incorrectly returns access denied errors for non-write operations. This only affects files accessed using a UNC share path, locally on the server. Accessing shares from remote or from the local drive letter does not trigger this problem.

* [D] When cloning directories, clone the owner properly.

* [D] Improved performance / accuracy of file size tracking.
