I have just moved all my data over from Drobo to the HP MediaSmart Server, and now use the Drobo to backup my WHS. I got everything transferred, and went into the "shared folders" tab today, and saw this:

What does it mean a folder share is "failing" ?? (This is the only FOLDER on the entire server that has this message) Anyone shed any light on this? I am about to head to work now, so if I cannot respond right away I apologize.

Any help at all would be appreciated. :cool:
 
lets get a pic from your storage tab....looks like you might have a drive that is failing...or it could just be a file conflict from some program that is running and a server restart might be in order, but lets see a pic of the storage tab and the network at risk dialog box first before we make any rash decisions.
 
Often times it is a file conflict OR there is not enough space on all drives to properly implement duplication.
 
Server storage tab as requested. 743GB free..

Not sure why the screenshot above did not include the information on the side (Storage pool) but here it is (Think it was my screenshot program, or I took the screenshot before it had a chance to calculate)

FWIW, I checked on Google at work, and found that it may be a file name over 240 characters in length.. this is not the case.. I just checked every folder/file on that directory and there is no filename with anything close to that limit.
 
WTF? Got home, and Drobo finished backing up the home server while I was at work.. and now the shares are "Healthy" Strange. :rolleyes:

So.. recap - the only thing I did was performed a backup "cleanup" to delete old PC backups, and I used the Drobo to back up the entire WHS.

Fresh cleanup with more space... maybe that fixed it?
