And THAT's COOL Agreed, very nice indeed. Way beyond my monetary means though :cry: I had to ...

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...

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.
