Logging

Is it possible to turn of logging to files completely. With loglevel=0, Starwind still write errors and it sometimes amount to 20MB pr. day.

Hi,

There are 2 type of logs in the StarWind package:

1) StarWind GUI's log (usually StarWindGUI.log) - you can easily disable it using StarWind GUI -> Preferences -> Logging property dialog page.

2) StarWind Service's log (a new file is created on each start of the service in StarWind\Logs subdirectory)
You can edit you StarWind.conf to change settings of this log.
Open the file StarWind.conf with Notepad (or any text editor you like) and change the parameter LogLevel=1 to LogLevel=0.
After restarting of the service it will write to the log only its start-up banner.

I have set LogLevel=0 in starwind.conf, but errors are still logged. Here is an example of what gets logged:

ImageFile[4d8] *ERROR* List_RefreshVolumes: Cannot open the volume '\\.\C:'.
20:28:23:673 (872) SPTI: '\\.\Physicaldrive1': DeviceIoControl failed: Incorrect function. (code: 1).

An explanation of why this is logged at a rate of several megabytes pr. day could also be useful.

Please, set following parameters in your StarWind.conf and try once more after restarting the service.
LogLevel = "0"
LogMask = "0xC000ffff"

Also please send me your current StarWind.conf.

Do you share you second hard drive with StarWind?
Have you any USB Storage device attached to your PC (like a card reader, etc) ?
