Add-In: StableBit DrivePool v1.0.2.6229 BETA

The beta version of StableBit DrivePool has had an update to provide a network I/O boost amongst other changes.

Version 1.0.2.6229 BETA includes the following changes:

• Fixed settings / state getting reset on upgrading.
• Added UI option for network I/O prioritization to the Disks DrivePool tab.
  After some testing, this option seems to be effective at minimizing stutter when streaming high bandwidth media directly from the server (such as BluRay).
• Moved read striping option to the Disks DrivePool tab.
• [D] Added a new read striping algorithm called "block mode" after conducting some testing with read striping.
         CoveFS will select the correct algorithm to use in real-time.
         Added a number of read striping options to .config:
                       CoveFs_ReadStripingBlockMode
                                 CoveFs_ReadStripingStripeSize
                                CoveFs_ReadStripingBlockModeNoCache
• [D] Added performance measuring instrumentation into the driver.
• Exposed CoveFS performance measurements, in real time, into the Dashboard.
  Hidden feature exposed by hitting ‘P’ on the DrivePool tab.
• Added read striping and network I/O boost real-time visualizations to the DrivePool Disks tab.
  When these features are actively working, you will see how much pool I/O is being affected, in percentages.
• Fixed installer service not starting on fresh install.
• Fixed delayed action firing too often, affecting much of the application. Delayed actions are used in the service and Dashboard, not in the file system.

[D] = Driver was modified (reboot required after update)
