LSFS mount time

AKnowles · Mon Mar 24, 2014 5:54 pm

Just a quick FYI ... after a reboot the LSFS disk I had was taking too long to mount. I mean about 5+ minutes and only 1%. So, I gave up and deleted the LUN and moved on.

I've seen other reports of long mount times, but this was a first for me. How long should a LSFS disk really take to mount? Is it by design that it takes longer than a thick LUN? If so, LSFS LUNs are not something I could recommend for a production environment. FWIW, there was no dedup or L2 caching on this LUN.

This happens due to abnormal StarWind service stop. It is a known issue and it will be fixed before the release.

Thanks. I'll give it a try again on the next build.

I experienced the same thing running version 8.0.6884.

After a proper shut-down and reboot of both StarWind servers, my LSFS volume took 8+ hours to mount.

There's set of issues related to a slow reading from LSFS volumes (especially if you use fast block back end). We're applying some critical mods to LSFS so please stay tuned a couple of more days and you'll have something to play with
