Two problems with StarWind 3.5.1 on W2k8 RC1

[DMashkov]

Hello!

I am testing StarWind 3.5.1 on W2k8 RC1. Two problems appeared:
1. If I try to log in with username "test", but without password, StarWind console shows an error, and then an endless "Please wait" progress bar that never stops. If I click Cancel in it, I get:
---------------------------
StarWind
---------------------------
This will drop the connection, you will need restore it manually. Do you really want to stop the operation?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

If you are interested, I captured process's hang dump.

2. I created a RAM disk, and connected it to another W2k8 RC1 server. The disk appears correctly, but fail to format. At this time, Microsoft iSCSI Initiator logs following errors:

Hi.
Thank you very mush for the valuable information.
I confirm that the problem #1 really exists and will be fixed ASAP.

As for the second one - could you please send us logs from StarWind installation directory to investigate what's wrong.

Just FYI, this happens in Vista (Ultimate) as well.

1) What version are you using?

2) Where's your StarWind log?
