I'm running a little bit of everything. The highest IO VM's are a MySQL and MSSQL server, following closely by a UTM firewall. We are working on functionality for executing defragmentation by user command. Also automatic defragmentation scheduler settings will be revisited later. Please let us know,...

While the RC release slowed down the growth of the .spspx files, it is adding 5-10 of these files a day. The size used now is over the size of the VM's it is supposed to be depuplicating. Is there a way to force cleanup on these?

Just another minor note for RC, I created a drive with an L2 cache, and forgot to change the location that the L2 cache was stored on. It happily accepted my primary storage as the location. It probably wouldn't hurt to add a warning if you're trying to put L2 cache on the same location as your prim...

I vote for personal/testing license as well. I have a home lab that I would love to fully implement Starwind in.

So would it be a good idea to run something like SDelete in windows to zero out all freed space in the OS? Yes, that was a plan (c) ... If OS passes either UNMAP or WRITE with all zeros (we do check for this particular pattern) then we'll free the block from the current active snapshot. So you will ...

I have a deduped 500GB drive with < 200GB used in ESXi, but the space that the .spspx files use is almost 300GB. At this point, not only is the deduplication benefits erased, but now it's using more storage than if it were a non-deduped disk. The other problem is that these files keep growing, somet...

Is UNMAP implemented yet? I created a deduplicated drive, and now I have many .spspx files. There are hundreds of entries in the log '*** DDDisk_Dispatch_WriteSameAndUnmap: WriteSameUnmap - Not implemented yet!' Even after using VMotion to move a VM off this storage, the space used by the .spspx fil...
