Hi Mike!
    That's the version I'm running too. Do you have the same model
motherboard (there are a couple Z97s, I don't think it matters which
one as long as it's the same family)? If so, it's probably something
to do with the state of the volume, i.e. I might need to export and
reimport it.
Thanks for the feedback :)!
