Thank you!

AKnowles, We have reviewed the logs. The only wrong thing in logs is error on locking the volumes of SSD storage. When DiskBridge opens device, it tries to lock volumes that reside on this device. This is needed to exclude possibility of simultaneous access to disk volumes from server' OS and from c...

Brad, sure.
We have uploaded the previous build to the web site:
http://starwindsoftware.com/tmplink/Sta ... 140206.exe

AKnowles,
Could you please send us also the previous log file? StarWind service starts new log file after each restart, so I assume, all the interesting records are there.
Current file contains records starting from 3/1 18:08:27.854 .

Yes, key will be updated too.

jcrowe,
We have added this functionality. New build with full support for unmap commands will be published today or tomorrow.

Storage spaces report 4k logical block size when reside on disks with 4k physical block size, even when disk reports 512 bytes logical block size. 4k block size for underlying storage is still not supported. It can work in some conditions, but there is some work to be done to add full support of 4k ...

Of course, we'll bring back the option to rename target for replica. Regarding the path to data for new replica - you can do it without changing default storage pool path: create partner device on the partner node, and select it as a replica in replication wizard. And we are thinking how to add path...

Ironwolf, 1. ImageFile issues: ImageFile devices don't support disks with 4k block size now. Previous versions allowed to create devices on such disks, but devices could function incorrectly. Now we have added check for 4k block size at the stage of device initialization. 2. one of structures of LSF...

Thank you for the logs! In this build LSFS device frees up disk space when snapshot is deleted and when existing data is overwritten. But it doesn't processes UNMAP/TRIM requests yet. We are fixing this functionality now. UNMAP command can be sent to disk by application when some data is deleted fro...

Sorry for misleading you, the fix will be released with the next build of beta-version.

1) We have fixed the issue with cache settings for the new partner. Now L1 cache mode and cache size are used when partner device is created automatically. If other cache settings or L2 cache is needed on partner device, it need to be created manually. Then just select this device as a partner in re...

Mardes,
Thank you for the information.
There was a bug with flushing cache on device close. It is fixed and will be released with the next build of beta version.

Ironwolf,
thank you for feedback!
There is an issue with L2 cache settings, it will be fixed with the next update of StarWind v8 beta.

Sorry for the lack of documentation! StarWindX library is being extended some faster that documentation for it. Device properties that are listed for IDevice are general. Each device type (HA, for example) has several specific properties. Some additional properties of HA device: ha_wait_on_autosynch...
