I guess you share your drives as:Guest wrote:i have a workstation and a server - both winxp - both ntfs.
i share the 2 hds of the server via starwind.
when i write a file onto the share drive i can't see or access it from the servers logged-in account. even the free disk space is not updated. if i write a file from the server's logged-in account i can't access or see it from the workstation (where starport is running).
why's that?

Code: Select all
If you will try to use such a configuration you will get corrupted file system.

What do you mean by 'cluster support'. And how do I enable/disable it to keep my FS safe (I am using the latest version)?
What I want to do is something like a SMB (windows) share but over iSCSI. I would like to have at least 10 systems (only windows for now ) accessing the fileserver over iSCSI. That is obviosuly no problem by itself until I tell you that they need to access the same data (R/W). We had a windows share for now but that's obviously a very slow option . So can I do this or not with StarWind? Can you post a config line(s) (using partition F: )?
If I can, is it important what initiator I use? We would probablly use StarPort but if someone uses the MS initiator, I don't want my FS corrupt.
Can we access the shared partition locally or do we need to always use it over iSCSI (mainly for backup).
Hope I didn't ask too many questions, but I am sure a lot of other visitiors are asking themselves the same questions...
