Index Stablebit pools?

Post by faroe2k9 »

Hi there.

Is Everything not able to index a Stablebit pool? (stablebit . com)

In Options > NTFS I can see the drive, but the "Enable USN Journal" is greyed out.

Hope you can help what to do, i really can't work proper without your program!

Please try adding your Stablebit pool as a folder index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • Click Add....
  • Select your stablebit drive and click OK.
  • Click OK.

Thanx!! It works!

But how is it that the program can see the NTFS with T: letter (letter of the pool), but not index it?

Stablebit reports as an NTFS volume but is not a true NTFS volume.

There's no Master File Table and no USN Journal.
This means Everything can't quickly build an index or keep an index always up-to-date.

Folder indexing will be a little slower for the initial index and require scheduled rescans to keep up-to-date.
