Hi all,

I am running version 8.0.6880
LSFS has filled the entire drive array to the brim and now the entire volume/device is missing and cannot be mounted.
The drive is filled with almost 1,000 *.spspx files so I assume the data is all still there.
This is an actual production system and re-installation/etc is not an option, neither really is loss of data.

Has anyone managed to resolve this issue and recover/re-mount the volume?
I have dropped a contact to StarWind support but I fear I may be slaughtered if service is not restored by tomorrow.
I am also not game to do anything on the SAN without any advice from you guys or StarWind support else I make things worse than they already are.

Thanks!

Just an update:

I am attempting to re-add the device as read only, so hopefully I can mount the LVMs and move them to another set of drives.
The mounting progress goes all the way to 50% and then it returns this error:

8/23 12:46:57.105 c68 Sp: --- CStarPackSpacePageMemorySegment::SearchEmptyPage (...) (line #484) 38

and then 5 minutes later the progress drops back down to 32%
Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

I believe you will HAVE to move it to another storage with some free space in order to mount such device even in read-only mode.
