Re: Compensation?

I also got a call a while back asking for my address, but I don't believe I have seen anything, so I'm not sure if something got lost in translation or not. In any case, I am more worried about what I will do when my NFR license expires in a few months. Will there be another beta/opportunity to test...

Re: Compensation?

If you did not indicate you're a beta team member and did not provide info where you're located US and EMEA sales still fight for your case :) Make sure you include Max (StarWind Virtual SAN Product Mgr) in %CC% when doing this. E-mail PM-ed. I sent a request to update NFR keys for v8 about a week ...

Re: Dedupe .spspx keeps growing

As an update to this, I moved the first VM that I moved to the lsfs drive back off the drive. The first VM was responsible for the first 3 or so .spspx files, so once it was removed from the drive, I would have assumed that those files would be released. It's now been 24 hours and not only are those...

Re: Dedupe .spspx keeps growing

Yes, RC2 has a fully functional garbage collector + TRIM and WRITE_SAME support. Please give it a try in Test & Development config to see would it work for you or not. Feedback is welcomed. Thank you! Has this been resolved with the new RC? I have been running with thick provisioning while wait...

Extending LSFS HA drive

I see there is an option to extend thick HA drives, but that option does not exist for lsfs. Is there any way to do this, or is it not supported?

Re: Clustered Storage - Change Cache Size

Will this also include dynamic L2 cache?

Re: Dedupe .spspx keeps growing

Has this been resolved with the new RC? I have been running with thick provisioning while waiting for this to be resolved. I would love to put LSFS under load with a couple database servers, without worrying that I will have to migrate it to a new drive every few weeks or so.

Re: StarWind iSCSI SAN Version 8.0 RC

When removing a target that is still busy, the warning says "Target was not removed because busy.." This should probably be "Target was not removed because it is busy" instead.

Re: HA Device with L2 cache

I was able to create an HA drive out of an existing drive that had L2 cache. I selected the option to create a partner device using the existing device as a template, and it created it without the L2 cache. Is there something I missed, and more importantly, is there a way to add the L2 cache to the ...

Console crash

I've had the Starwind console crash twice with trying to click on replication links. The dumps they created are over 100mb compressed, so I can't email them.' Another note... When I create clustered storage, the progress bar will show the status when clicked on, but then doesn't update. If I log in ...

HA Device with L2 cache

I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if the question has been asked before, but is it possible to use L2 cache with HA device? I have 2 servers with matching fusionIO cards that I would love to create an HA device on. Unfortunately, without the L2 cache, performance is less than optimal, meaning...

Re: Dedupe .spspx keeps growing

I am now at 500GB used, while only 250 GB of the datastore shows used. I will be switching to thick disk until this gets sorted out, as I do not like the idea of having to create new deduped drives and migrating ~250GBs of data every few weeks.
