Hi camealy,
I was informed, that now you are ok with the new build and current deployment? Could you please confirm it?

Far from it. I can only get decent performance from LSFS if L1 and L2 cache are disabled. I submitted an email about one of my HA nodes completely dropping two devices with just a reboot. And now every time I restart either node I lose portions of my initiator access rules.

I have sent in all logs requested multiple times. So I don't believe you are waiting on me for anything.
I would offer a word of caution to anyone considering the latest build of Virtual SAN. We currently lose multiple access rules upon service restart or node reboot, causing iSCSI initiators in our cluster members to mark the targets offline (due to rejection instead of being unavailable and in a reconnecting state). We also lose devices from nodes in HA sets randomly during the same service restart or server reboot. (not limited to LSFS, thick images as well) These problems are in addition to LSFS L1 cache performance issues.

They have kept me updated with status, but fixes are still in development. I have taken the system out of production while we wait.
I will be extremely nervous to trust the system with production loads going forward though.

Yeah, me too. It's a pitty... this has been good software in the past. Seems like it's falling apart

I agree, most builds of v6 were reliable as an anvil. This v8 reminds me of 6 years ago when they announced 5.0 HA. We became Starwind partners and made the mistake of adopting that right away and lost an entire production Exchange system.

Are these L1/L2 cache performance issues only related to LSFS, or to normal HA-images as well?

OK, lets clarify:
The L1 caching works great right now.
The L2 cache will work great with next update.
