Hi there, we had this LSFS bug last year which filled our disks with .spspx files constantly. A short time after that a new build with a fix came out. So this is no issue anymore. We use a roundabout 13 Terabyte Near Line SAS RAID5 Volume for a LSFS LUN without deduplication and StarWind VTL on top ...

Hello guys, I have a new test environment and have a question regarding the stripe or strip size of the volume I want to create for Virtual SAN devices. As long as I know the stripe size of a RAID volume is the block size of that "virtual RAID disk". But in the MegaRAID Software of my LSI/...

Hello Tarass,

1) There are no snapshots.
2) The volume grows without any new files.

At the moment Virtual SAN adds up to four 132 MB SPSPx files per hour and fills up the volume.

Thank you for the information so far.

My problem is that I don´t know if a iSCSI switch with 480 Mpps will bottleneck Virtual SAN.
Is 480 Mpps a good package throughput compared to a usual switch?

Hi there, is there any recommendation for the right switch forwarding performance (Mpps) depending iSCSI? We need two 24-port switches with 12 x 10GBit SFP+ and 4 uplinks with 10 GBit SFP+ each. The switches will be used for Virtual SAN and Hyper-V iSCSI only. The switches we have in mind have a for...

Same problem here. Anything new?
I have the latest version installed.

Hi there, could somebody please explain me how deduplication in Virtual SAN works? I have a 100 GB CSV in a Hyper-V cluster. The volume has 10 GB free space left. The Virtual SAN device has 73,6 GB with files on the StarWind volume. The deduplication ratio is 2.27. I thought that 2.27 means that Vir...

Is this a feature now? I get an error when I try to extend a LSFS thin-provisioned HA device with deduplication.

Anything new here? I got the same problem/error and cannot extend a thin-provisioned LSFS device.
Still not able in the current version?

Thanks for help!

Hello everyone! :) I´m new with StarWind VirtualSAN and maybe someone could help me with some beginners questions regarding VirtualSAN with Hyper-V in a hyper-converged environment. So I worked with the official how-to Hyper-Converged 2 Nodes Scenario - 2 Nodes with Hyper-V Cluster and did all the c...
