Re: StarWind SAN & NAS Free - L1/L2 Cache

Many thanks for your quick and detailed reply!
I would like your feedback about these points:
- Will be introduced in the future the cache option in the GUI (SAN & NAS appliance)?
- Do you have some details how to add cache via config files for current version?

Thanks again :wink:

Hi Link, The problem of VMWare working with thin provisioned devices is weird but known :-) For now, the only reasonable way would be to create a larger LSFS device initially or create a second one near existing.
