What do you use as a target? StarPort logs should be in the same folder where app is installed so check for *.log files in it (zip and send to us). P.S. In general you can switch to MSFT one right away as they (MSFT) don't support monolithic SCSI ports like StarPort in production. Hi, thanks for the...

Thank you for new information! We need to examine the logs and will try to reproduce these problems in our lab. I'll get back here with updates and new questions in two-three days.

Could you please send full log file which contains the error to support@starwindsoftware.com?

I see a fragment of processing VAAI COMPARE AND WRITE command in your log.

This build will be published at the start of the next week.

I've sent the link to the pre-release build with PM.

Sure, we'll do it!

Tim, We have fixed this. Fix will be available with the next update on the web site, in about a week. Thanks for feedback! This folder contains Hardware VSS Provider. If you don't need this functionality, it can be removed: execute "UnInstallStarWindProvider.bat" with from this folder to u...
