I'm not sure how cool would be x64 version of StarWind I'm a geek :roll: currently my AMD X2 4800 box with dual 6600GTs in SLI mode run DooM3 at least four times faster then old 3400+ with Radeon 9800 Pro. And THAT's COOL Agreed, very nice indeed. Way beyond my monetary means though :cry: I had to ...

RDS stuff would be ported to x64 soon, from what I know DT/Acohol already have working 64-bit betas so stay tuned

Cool

I will be watching out this stuff

Alcohol 120% comes with a version of StarWind, I can't remember if it's a trial or a "limited" registered version. Try looking in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel. It should be listed as a seperate entry so you can uninstall it. Another way is to completely uninstall Al...

Yep, once again things are looking good.

I have been trying to break it but all seem OK.

Already on it!

All looks good so far, not had any problems with my testing.

Is this a problem or just normal stuff: Event Type: Information Event Source: StarPort Event Category: None Event ID: 1 Date: 29/08/2005 Time: 11:26:16 User: N/A Computer: EARTH Description: The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( StarPort ) cannot be found.

A minor thing I just found.

The 'Choose name of target' panel does not remember previously typed names.

Errm, that's it for now

There is may be be some hidden bug in StarPort driver that leads to crashes on failed reconnection to a target. Could be! I just want to clarify what went on. When the StarWind target machine was going BSOD or just dying the StarPort client would, after a short delay, seem to complete and add the o...

What is your initiator system? Are there any third-party drivers (storage or filters)? Hmmm, can't seem to reproduce the problem. I suspect it's because the target problems left a strange entry in the StarPort Remote iSCSI devices list. It had TID 1, blank Vendor ID, Product ID and Revision, Type D...

1) and 2) - seem to be a bug/issues of the Via drivers. StarWind is purely a usermode application, it has no kernel drivers in the installation. I only mentioned this because the previous RC build did not give such errors (2.6.3 date 20050730). 3-4) Have you tried the MS initiator on the client mac...

Unfortunately this build isn't going well for me. The problems so far: On the Target machine: 1) 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA in videport.sys when the initiator connects to an SPTI device. 2) Hard lock-ups, no mouse or KB, system dead after adding SPTI device. I removed Via IDE Accelerato...

Uhm, a 200GB MFT ?

Maybe, depends on the total partition size.


Standard MFT size is 12.5% of total free space when formatted.
There is a registry option to change this to 25%, 37.5 or 50%.

Hey, I got a question for you. When you defragmented, did you also notice that windows writes a part of the file on the start of the disk, then makes a gap thats about 20% of the capacity, then continues writing the file, so there is no way making so you dont have the flat image atleast in 2 parts ...

You could use our mksparse.exe with '-o' parameter.

Ah, so that's what the '-o' parameter means.
A quick look around didn't reveal any documentation for the mksparse program.

Thanks.

How do I create a multi-gigabyte zero filled image file?

Not sparse but fully allocated for maximum performance.
