Hey Normally when i shutdown af node I stop the starwind service and shutdown the server.. but after i have installed version v8 build 7145. the service always hangs.. telling me that I couldnt stop it.. and when I look at the service console, it just sitting there as "stopping" but nothin...

Please don't take this post the wrong way... I'm very appreciative of having the kind of features available to me within the free edition of Starwind. To my knowledge, you're the only vendor to offer a free edition with dedupe, etc. along with the free support you provide in forums. However... In m...

So for us that love the free version (im my case I use it for the deduplication images) IF i want to upgrade my free version I actually lose performance :( (I use write-back cache 10GB for each device) Wouldnt it be better to limit functions instead of the performance in the free version? or maybe d...

As Ara is pointing out, i saw the information on the post "Starwind The Most Recent Version"

Hey Anatoly The new build, did you limit the cache to only 512MB per device?. Just asking because im sure i can set my cache size alot higher in the earlier versions (6.0.4768) so im thinking that I wouldnt get any improvement to the performance if I wanted to upgrade to the newest free version unle...

Hey Anatoly

I must have overseen the UPDATE field somehow in that post, probably because the headline was Starwind 6.0 Release notes

So my question is, what happend between my ...

Hey Anton My point was that I noticed that when i set the cache on the dedup-device ex. 22GB It didnt consume the memory from the Host, is that something you guys have seen before? If i remove the device again, and add it again then it would consume the 22GB of memory of the host, maybe it was bug o...

Well probably i should have made a new forum post, but here we go... I have noticed that with the Starwind version 6.0.4768, when i remove and re-add a dedup-device, the memory is not consumed as it was the first time i added a device with cache(ram). I have been looking with taskman on a Windows Se...

Hey Anton

Thanks for the fast answer, I will for sure be looking forward to test out the next release

Hey Guys I have been playing around with the free version of Starwinds ISCSI software V6. I have made a dedup-image on a hardware raid 10 system. I have ticked the Deletion Support (which i know is experimental) I have moved all my VMs away from the dedup-image and on to a dedicated NAS box (tempora...
