Hi,

I see that in previous versions of StarWind iSCSI VSAN (i.e. version 6) there was an option to expand StarWind iscsi target virtual devices/disks. Can't seem to do this in version 8. What am I missing?

Thanks
Tim

You can extend a thick disk image by clicking on the device and using the 'Extend Image Size' option that appears above.
The option is not available for thin disk images (LSFS).

Hello gentlemen,

Just want to let you know that ability to expand the thin provisioned disks size is already in our roadmap.
