How can this be disabled without recreating the drive? Edit the config file?

Re: Beta 2 Install on Windows 2012 R2

Found the issue it seems your http server response to multithreaded downloads such as internet download manager causes the download to be corrupted. Maybe you should add a self check in the installer e.g. MD5 hash or something before allowing files to be installed.

Re: lz4 Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

1) I think there are methods around this but do not remember the name of it. If i open 7zip, select a 100GB archive and try to extract 2mb file it does not have to read the whole archive.

In Windows 2012 R2 Base install creating a new drive as per the below screenshots does not allow 4KB.

Re: lz4 Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

Can you post a StarWind stats page so we could be sure? I know... Ideally compression and deduplication should be combined. Some companies (Nimble) do compression with dedupe on the roadmap, some (StarWind) do dedupe to add compression later, some (Pure) do both. But for ~200M of a VC money Pure go...

Re: lz4 Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

4kb, you can try the LZ4 out your self with your own .spspx. I used High compression level as LZ4 is really fast. http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/p/lz4.html

As well i have PM you a link to how Compression and deduplication ratios work great for some other SAN systems out there.

Re: lz4 Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

We've started with in-line deduplication using very small blocks (4KB, compare to Microsoft using 32KB as the smallest) so it gives very good saving ratios. We'll add compression-over-deduplication in post V8. That's already on the schedule. Thanks for pointing :) I would really like to see this in...

lz4 Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

Hello, Is there any reason why there is no compression support for example LZ4? From my understanding LZ4 would improve performance and also allow more data to be written to small drives such as SSDs. http://fastcompression.blogspot.com.au/p/compression-benchmark.html https://code.google.com/p/lz4/
