Max image file size publishable?

I'm using 2.6.1 and created a 1.5TB (1500GB) file with mksparse and published it.
On a W2K3 server using the MS Initiator 1.06 the published device only mounts as a 1023GB disk. I also tried the 2.6.1 version of Starport and achieved the same result.

Is this a limitation of StarWind or the Initiators?

Brandon,

Maximum supported volume size under current versions of Windows is 2TB. You current limitation hit seems to be a StarWind bug (there has been some other reports as well). We would check this. Thanks a lot for letting us know!

Yes, this is a limitation of that StarWind version. It have been removed in the recent version 2.6.3 that is going to be released this week.

Very good! So we'll mark this one as "fixed" :)
