Excessive RAM Usage
Posted: Tue May 12, 2015 2:34 pm
I am running StarWind Free 8.0.7774 on Windows 2012 R2. Slowly, the amount of memory the StarWind Virtual SAN Service uses increases until there is no more available. The server has 16GB of RAM and I only have 5GB worth of L1 cache configured. None of the lsfs devices are using deduplication. Right now I cannot create a new device: "There is not enough free memory available for caching device metadata." The only way I have found to reclaim the memory is to reboot the server. Is this behavior expected?
