DrivePool features advanced kernel logging that can record every I/O operation performed on the pool. In addition, the StableBit DrivePool service performs high level logging of its operation.
All log files are written under C:\ProgramData\StableBitDrivePool\Service\Logs on the sever.
This is a new feature as of BETA M2
Be aware that if you try to read the log files yourself, you may see many warning messages. These by themselves do not indicate a problem. The Win32 API expects many functions to fail. For example, many applications will check whether a file exists or not by trying to open it, so it is perfectly normal for that to error out.
Collect a log
If you experience a problem with copying a file or reading data from the pool:
- Open the Windows Home Server 2011 Dashboard.
- Select the 'StableBit DrivePool' tab.
- Click 'About StableBit DrivePool' in the tasks list on the right.
- Make sure 'Enable logging' is Checked.
- Reproduce your error by copying / opening a file.
- After you see the error, go back and Uncheck 'Enable logging'. This will flush all logs to disk and stop logging.
- Log into the home server using remote desktop with the 'Administrator' account.
- Open 'C:\ProgramData\StableBitDrivePool' in Windows Explorer.
- ZIP up the 'Service' Sub folder.
- Upload the resulting zip file using the form below with a short description explaining the problem.
- You can optionally open a support contact thread at http://stablebit.com/contact.

You should not attach log files to a contact message at http://stablebit.com/contact because the files can be very large.

Logs are only used to fix bugs in StableBit DrivePool and for no other purpose.
