That can't be true. I have 24gb of ram in this server. 1.8gb is used. I tried to put it to 20480mb and it bumped be down to 16000.

kspare,
We'll check, what's going on there.

Could someone point me in the right direction as far as creating LSFS volumes properly. I've tried many different methods through the GUI, and they all result in "Device state: Failed!".

Thanks!

How much cache will we be able to use with the free edition of v8.0? Hopefully more than in v6. =)

thanks

This is not normal. Is there any chance we'd see a screenshot or a StarWind log for the failed sequence?

To be discussed. I'd recommend to spawn a dedicated thread with a "feature request" tag and write all "xxx reasons why I hate StarWind". With a lot of a customer traction we'll start considering to change something

I also had the same problem I remember. I think selecting a block size (instead of auto) solved it for me.

Absolutely.



And when mounted to a target



here's the logs from creating that new LUN.

By the way, the D: has 25TB of free space

Sigh... that did it for me! I had tried varying block sizes, but I guess the largest block size is special (I know there is a maximum size per block size, and I had more than doubled the size volume I was creating...)

Anyway, file this under bugs that can be circumvented!

Thanks for the help guys. Let me know if you need more information to track down the issue I WAS having

I'm having the same problem.

trying to create a 23tb lsfs volume I set the volume to use 64kb cluster but it still fails. not sure whats going on.

The problem has been reproduced in our testlab. It will be fixed ASAP.
Thanks for your feedback!

Had the same issue. I resolved by setting the maximum block size.

Remember to also fix the issue with L2-cache always stored on the same location as the main disk file. If I remember right the main storage is also always saved in storage pool location (even if you specify other location). Only tried image-file setting.

Does this beta v8.0 support UNMAP?
