I installed WHS Vail on Monday and attached two 2TB hard drives with the objective to attach another ten hard drives. However, the storage pool on the system drive is not being emptied, meaning that it seems that the files on the system system drive
are not balanced to the second hard drive. When I move files to the WHS, it gives errors such as that the destination is full.
I always understood that when files are copied to the WHS, that these files are first stalled on the storage pool of the system drive and that some kind of program moves the files to the other hard drives. It does not have anything to do with duplication
as this was only turned on for some small directories. I have not turned it off for all directories but it does not help.
Edit: I am not sure that, what I just wrote, is correct. When trying to move files/directories with Total Commander (moving it from an HD to a network share) it showed sum unexpected behaviour. I am now trying to move it using MS Windows
Explorer. This seems to go okay. I actually see the free space of the Storage pool on the system drive remaining the same (150,8 GB after I turned off all duplication, before it showed 0 as free space) but I see the free space on the second drive
of the storage pool decreasing. It does copy it with a slow 16MB per second but that is probably because it is doing something else as well in the background.
