===== When to use =====
 
''You're sure that StableBit DrivePool is not running, now you want to submit an error report.''
 
 
 
* [[StableBit DrivePool Error Reports|StableBit DrivePool 1.x Error Reports]]
 
* [[StableBit DrivePool 2.x Error Reports]]
 
 
 
Error reports are written when DrivePool encounters exceptional conditions that prevent it from functioning properly. If such a condition occurs then DrivePool writes out an error report file and issues a windows event log entry.
 
 
 
=== I/O Errors (errors reading or writing) ===
 
[[File:problem_small.png]] If you're having trouble copying files, opening files or using a particular application with the pool, follow these instructions to collect detailed I/O logs and submit them to StableBit support for examination.
 
 
 
===== When to use =====
 
''StableBit DrivePool is running, but you're having trouble putting data onto the pool, or reading data from the pool. Or perhaps some program refuses to work with DrivePool.''
 
 
 
* [[StableBit DrivePool Log Collection|StableBit DrivePool 1.x Log Collection]]
 
* [[StableBit DrivePool 2.x Log Collection]]
 
* [[StableBit DrivePool 2.x Boot Time Log Collection]]
 
 
 
DrivePool uses the high performance ''Event Tracing for Windows'' logger in the kernel driver to collect detailed trace data on every I/O operation leading up to your error. This will show you how to properly collect this data.
 
 
 
=== System Crash ===
 
[[File:problem_small.png]] If your system has a blue screen and it's possible that DrivePool is the cause, then please submit a memory dump file for examination.
 
 
 
===== When to use =====

* [[StableBit DrivePool System Crashes]]
 
 
 
Windows can be configured to collect a full kernel memory dump in case of a blue screen. These dumps should be sent to StableBit support for analysis. We look at every single dump sent.
