Snapshot and CDP keep growing and no more space is available
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Even if a merge/delete all snapshot, the files xxxx_0000000n.ibvd are still there and of same size (or growing) and if i copy other files on target, it keeps growing more and more.
So, actually I've delete all file inside the target, merged/deleted all snapshot BUT the space on volume hosting the starwind file (xxxx_0000000n.ibvd, ecc) is out of space.

There is no way to reduce/free starwind file.
I was expected that deleting files inside the target would let xxxx_0000000n.ibvd to use previous allocated (now no more used) space.
But It's not so.
The files xxxx_0000000n.ibvd keep growing more and more until end of physical disk space.

Hi Mardes,
The quickest way so far is to convert the CDP devices to IMG using separate storage and then migrate them back to the original SAN.
Could you tell me which version of StarWind you're using?
