Re: Slow to shutdown.

Hi chell,
It looks like you have quite a large amount of L1 RAM cache and it takes quite a large amount of time to write all this cache to the storage in order to avoid data loss and proper StarWind stop.

Hi Kevin,
I suggested you run flushcacheall.ps1 before you restart the service to speed up the process and for a proper restart.
The next build should be in the middle of the next month.
