That can't be true. I have 24gb of ram in this server. 1.8gb is used. I tried to put it to 20480mb and it bumped be down to 16000.

Could someone point me in the right direction as far as creating LSFS volumes properly. I've tried many different methods through the GUI, and they all result in "Device state: Failed!".
Thanks!

How much cache will we be able to use with the free edition of v8.0? Hopefully more than in v6. =)
thanks

This is not normal. Is there any chance we'd see a screenshot or a StarWind log for the failed sequence?

To be discussed. I'd recommend to spawn a dedicated thread with a "feature request" tag and write all "xxx reasons why I hate StarWind". With a lot of a customer traction we'll start considering to change something

I also had the same problem I remember. I think selecting a block size (instead of auto) solved it for me.

Absolutely.
And when mounted to a target
here's the logs from creating that new LUN.

Sigh... that did it for me! I had tried varying block sizes, but I guess the largest block size is special (I know there is a maximum size per block size, and I had more than doubled the size volume I was creating...)
Anyway, file this under bugs that can be circumvented!
Thanks for the help guys. Let me know if you need more information to track down the issue I WAS having

Had the same issue. I resolved by setting the maximum block size.

Remember to also fix the issue with L2-cache always stored on the same location as the main disk file. If I remember right the main storage is also always saved in storage pool location (even if you specify other location). Only tried image-file setting.
