    I have been using WHS since V1 and have had relatively few problems with the product, I actually find it very suitable to my needs and so firstly I commend Microsoft on producing such a product and hope to see this OS development continue.

    I have though since upgrading to the Vail refresh started to suffer from some serious disk performance issues (performance of around 500KB to 1MB/sec when transfering between local hard disks) which I am going to run a log collection for and send back via connect.

    What I was hoping to have answered here though in the meantime is, if I was to re-run the install of Vail on the existing machine, will I loose data or does it have the same capability of previos versions of WHS to retain data on the storage pool?

    Thanks in advance
    Matt

    If you reinstall with the same version, you can get at the data on your secondary disks, because they mount up as "non-default server storage" and shares mount into the file system on C:. There's functionality there to simply "mount" the entire foreign pool, but I don't recommend you use it in this build, as the last time I tried it I found it rather buggy...
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    Hi Ken

    Thanks for the response, I assumed that this might be the case i.e. no "recommended" way forward. Looks like it might be a (slow) migration off, rebuild and migration back on.
