Since you are so late to join the party, I wonder how many people like you had this happen but just not publicly comment or look further into their lost data? We had the same thing happen with a LUN we tested with. It probably would have never happened with production data of ours anyway because it...

Are there any benefits to adding an SSD L2 cache in front of an all-SSD virtual image?

Back in v6 we were able to do deduplication. Perhaps it was thin provisioned, but I guess my question would be will there ever be an option to do deduplication on a non-LSFS LUN? I don't think LSFS is there quite yet after the horror stories on the forums of data loss and the virtual image sizes gro...

Oles-- is there a firm date yet on the new release which you say will allow L2 cache on a thick image? Will this also add back deduplication support on thick images?

My 3x quote comes from many other posts out there. Here is one for example: https://forums.starwindsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4045&hilit=lsfs+extra#p23310 As well during some testing I did, I was using about 80GB of a 117GB partition and overnight the partition filled up and the LUN wa...

Is deduplication on thick images an option and I'm just missing it? We do not really want to utilize the LSFS right now, which is where I see the only option to enable it. Otherwise if you could please explain-- I've seen this come up a few times on the forums but there hasn't really been a straight...

Just saw this quote from yesterday. Apparently there are issues with L2 cache but it does not say what exactly.

I came here looking for similar answers. Are you creating a thick provisioned disk? The only way I see that it works is using thin/lsfs. I'm hoping this is just a bug that can be squashed and released quickly.

Will Starwind be testing compatibility with the new release of XenServer 6.5 soon and sharing the results?

Are there also any plans to get updated on the official HCL at hcl.xensource.com? The latest one I see on there is for Starwind 5.8 being certified with XenServer 6.1.

I'm now running v.5.8.2013 and it's still giving slow speeds for the dedup. It's a server with 4GB RAM, and just like my tests in the previous version it runs okay up until the first few GB are copied, then it slows down. It seems like that is when it reaches a bottleneck where the dedup processing ...

What are the expected dedup speeds supposed to be? Granted, right now I'm testing with a dedup image on a USB drive. My .spbitmap file is 512MB and my .spmetadata file is 2GB. I test by copying a 20GB file. It runs around 40MB/sec for the first 2GB of xfer and then crawls down to about 12MB/sec from...

Is it possible to set up multipathing to one Starwind host? We are running XS 5.6 FP1 and Starwind Free. The closest documentation I could find was at http://www.starwindsoftware.com/tmplink/HA%20Xen%20Guide.docx. Everything is successful, but how to I present the storage to Xenserver? After complet...
