Re: V8 LSFS Failed on first 2 basic tests

Just wanted to add the tests mentioned above, and several other basic tests I have done have all passed with beta 2
No issues to report.

Im now on Windows 8.1, and have several Win2k12 R2 VMs running on LSFS beta2 storage
All is good :)

Re: V8 LSFS Failed on first 2 basic tests

I used all defaults for LSFS
Defaults for cache as well (It used 128MB write-back)
All on the same machine.
.spspx files were 4GB I believe.
D: had about 90 GB Free

Anyone else try on Windows 8 moving large 30GB+ file into LSFS

Re: V8 LSFS Failed on first 2 basic tests

Had to reboot again after that. On next reboot, Starwind service did not auto start, so I start it manually.

Now connect with SW console, and I see a warning that it is trying to mount the LSFS device, but just stays like that forever ..
