+
* [[StableBit DrivePool System Crashes]] - How to collect crash (BSOD) memory dumps for analysis

+

===== When to use =====
 
''You're sure that StableBit DrivePool is not running, now you want to submit an error report.''
 
 
 
* [[StableBit DrivePool 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]]
 
 
 
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 is installed and you experience a blue screen.''
 
 
 
* [[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.
 
 
 
=== Windows Server Solutions Troubleshooter ===

This is a wizard that automates fixes to the WSS system.
 
 
 
The wizard supports the following tasks:
 
 
 
===== Media Streaming Repair =====
 
Use this when you are having trouble seeing audio / video that is set to stream from the server. You should also run this when you see duplicate media files.
 
 
 
In order to run this fix, the troubleshooter '''must''' be placed in ''C:\Program Files\Windows Server\Bin'' on the server.
 
 
 
===== Restore DrivePool Shares =====
 
Use this after re-installing the operating system, and you have an existing pool connected to the system. Folders on the pool will be automatically re-shared.
 
 
 
This fix can run from any folder on the server. In order to run this fix, DrivePool must be installed.
