Issue - When removing a drive, the process can be halted with the error "The file XXXX was already found on the target drive". This is a result of the balancer process running while the drive is being removed.
Workaround - You need to manually remove the drive as per - http://divisionm.zendesk.com/entries/20436517-How-do-I-manually-remove-a-drive-from-the-pool-
Once you have removed the drive, you can then have the file system health monitor either flag or remove these multiple primary files. You enable this by modifying the pool's configuration under Drive Bender registry located at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Division-M\Drive Bender\{12345...12345}" FYI - "{12345...12345}" is the pool GUID, this is where this value must be set. For more information of the registry configuration, please see - http://divisionm.zendesk.com/entries/21111768-Understanding-a-pool-...
Add or change the value DWORD value "HM Action Multiple Primarys" to one of the following
0 = do nothing
1 = warning only (default setting for v2)
2 = rename file to file(x) (default setting for v1)
3 = delete
4 = shutdown pool
We recommend setting this value to 2, then scan the pool for *(1).* and remove these files manually. Although setting this value to 3 is possible (i.e. have the health monitor delete the extra files), the preference is fro the user check the files that are being removed.
Expected Fix - v2.1.6.0
