Re: Some LSFS mounting issues

I wanted to send logs, but the form rejects my gmail.com email address. I don't currently have another account that would not be with a "general public" provider.

VirtualSAN's free space checks?

I just tried to add a new device to a target. A 2TB LSFS disk, 4KB sector size, no deduplication. However, the console won't let me. It says I need almost 9GB of free RAM to do so, but only have some 8.xx free. The strange thing is that entire system consumes less than 8GB with two identical devices...

Some LSFS mounting issues

Using VirtualSan Free on Windows 10 Pro. Underlying storage drives are the NAS variant (WD Red) I have set up two targets, each with one 2TB volume, 512b sector size. One has L2 write-back cache (980GB storage size), the other only has L1 cache (67GB storage size). I have noticed that *sometimes* wh...

Re: StarWind Virtual SAN Free

Does one have to apply for every new released build? I looked all around your website but I can't seem to find a downloads page.

Re: Device mount times

Of course, I'll try to locate them. If I load the log in console, it only loads log from last service start. (where) do you keep past logs? How do I deliver them (it was said not in the forums :) )?

Re: Device mount times

Yes, that helped. Anyway, the additiona 8GB RAM arrived today and testing is now much easier :) I did experience a complete LSFS image corruption before, but I'm going to attribute that to low RAM I had before for now. The corruption was so huge that not even the partition was recognised on the moun...

(lots of) newbie questions

So I'm trying to consolidate my home storage and Starwind so far seems like the perfect solution. However, I'm encountering some issues and I'd like to clear them before I proceed to deployment. [*]I'm deploying to Windows Home (client OS) with relatively weak HW (will soon be 12GB RAM, 10TB storage...

Device mount times

Hello, I've been testing VirtualSAN for a bit now, so firstly, I'd like to congratulate you guys on this excellent product. I super love your thin-provisioned FS solution. I have encountered one oddity while testing out the server. Please note that I'm a home user and am not really running this &quo...

Initiator future

I understand that you guys discontinued the initiator. I suppose in favour of MS built-in initiator? Well, I'm a home user and I'm considering iSCSI to centralise storage. However, I have grown accustomed to SSD disks and would like to have SSD-like performance even on remote drives. I have been tes...
