StarWind Software

Hello,

all my vSphere VMs running on Starwind's LUN have stopped because Starwind server ran out of disk space. I really don't know why. I created 180 GB LUN (thin, lsfs with deduplication and auto-defrag) on 200 GB physical disk. Total disk usage by VMs was about 80 GB only.

Did I something wrong with LUN configuration or is it bug? I'm using Starwind v8, build 6838.


Thank you for explanation.


Pavel.

Please zip and send us starwind logs to check what's wrong.

Hello,

too late, unfortunatelly system has been already reinstalled. I will send you logs if error occurs again.

Thanks.

LSFS settings and logs to see did optimization process kick in and if not why are of our interest (scheduled? heavy load?. Please keep us updated. Thank you!

Hello,

same error happened today - 3,5TB physical disk shown out of disk space error on my 2-node Starwind cluster, version 7145, running on Windows 2012 R2, fully patched.

I prepared new one LSFS disk at Friday, no data copied into, no load here and there was 3,5TB of "something" at Monday There are a lot of *.SPSPX files here.

What's wrong? I'm going to send logs via e-mail to your support.



Thanks.

Known issue with 6884/7145 regarding Thin/LSFS provisioning. I was advised to not thin provision, due to build up of SPSPX files. At least until they release a fix; hopefully this week.

No way to convert from thin to thick, so only way to fix is to rebuild as thick and lose your LSFS/Deduplication benefits.

Can we get an update as to ETA for a fix for this problem?

Of course! Once we`ll get an update we will sent over the notification to our users.
