* [Issue #12411] The CoveFS metadata folder is now shown in the per folder duplication settings window and the file 
                 placement tab under balancing. The metadata folder is automatically duplicated up to x3 on the pool.

The only thing that's automatically duplicated is the CoveFS metadata on the pool (the hidden .covefs folder).

While not an auditing tool, you can use the folder duplication window to see if a folder contains duplicated files. It actively measures each folder as you selected it, and thus will show you with byte by byte accuracy what exactly is duplicated and where (albeit on a folder level).

The .covefs folder is hidden in that window, and I kind of went back and forth on whether we should show it or not. I think maybe we should, and simply call it [METADATA] or something similar.

Let me make that change.

Unfortunately the log doesn't show anything going wrong, the error report is showing a port in use error, for remote control, so that's not relevant, and the file system trace doesn't show any errors.

I'm sure you've tried resetting settings, other than that I'm not sure what's going on.

I'd be happy to do remote support:
