I am from West Coast USA Contacted Starwind yesterday, spoke briefly with a sales rep who said he saw my ticket was going to pitch it to Tommy (who was the original person who replied back to me requesting logs 2 weeks ago) Im not trying to get anyone in trouble here, just need some help.

OK, sent to that address as well. I called over there yesterday and they had a record of the email, said someone would look into it and call me back.

So far no news

Here is my support ticket number if anyone from support would like to take a look

downloaded the StarPort iniator to try and determine if it was an issue with the MS iniator; same problem.

Host running starwind is Windows 2003 R2 64-bit, all clients connecting are Win 2008

for example; Im trying to quickformat a 1gig LUN now and its taken at least 10 mins so far

Windows 2008 iSCSI initator picks up the drives alright; but when I go to disk manager to list them they are not there; I do a Rescan of the disks which takes extremely long; actually causes Windows to timeout; eventually it attaches the disks but then bringing them online takes forever; and formatt...
