Hi all,
I'm new to StarWind 8 so don't blame if I write something stupid.
I'm trying to make a snapshot of a device (mounted on a server, let's say SRV-PRODUCTION) and then mount that snapshotted device on another server (let's say SRV-DEVELOP), this part is working fine.
The snapshotted device is mounted as read-only, is it possible to have a snapshotted device avilable in write access?

For now we do only read-only snapshots so you could mount it and get previous versions of your data back. We do have an experimental code when many LUs share the same set of snapshots (think about writeable snapshots) but it would take more time before we'll release one. Stay tuned :)
