Drives messed up?

[pbc]

So haven't played with my BI machine in several weeks, but noticed today my phone app wasn't working. Came up to check it out and reboot the machine which usually fixes it. App now works.

But when I launched BI, I noticed the "drives over allocated error", which was odd as I had reallocated them months ago to ensure they weren't over allocated. Clicked on Status menu and saw this which I've never seen before?

Running a repair to see if it fixes it, but any ideas?

Have you already tried rebooting the PC?

 

[pbc]

Yeah that was the first thing I did. The DB Repair fixed it.

Weird.

 

[pbc]

Weird, exact same thing happening again 7 months later...

 

[pbc]

Repairing Database doesn't seem to fix it this time. WTH?

It would help tremendously if you posted screenshots of how each drive is configured regarding allocation.

It is recommended to configure as here in @SouthernYankee 's post:

Provide a screen shot of Blue iris status (lighting bolt graph,upper left corner) clip storage tab.

Did you rebuild the BI data base after you manual deleted the BI video files ?

==========================================
My Standard allocation post.

1) Do not use time (limit clip age)to determine when BI video files are moved or deleted, only use space. Using time wastes disk space.
2) If New and stored are on the same disk drive do not used stored, set the stored size to zero, set the new folder to delete, not move. All it does is waste CPU time and increase the number of disk...

Noticed I had limit clip age on a couple so have changed that. Just adjusted that. Also hard deleted all the contents of each drive and started over. Also removed the Windows virus can from the drives outside of my C drive. Turned off Windows Optimize on all drives (was no choice to do so just on the BI related drives)
