Open-E DSS V6 & FalconStor

[To-M]

Hmmm default is 512, most MS likes 4096, guess we should have asked if the defaults where changed - thanks for the update!

I was refering to the online help when creating FC Target, so I selected 4096

Blocksize
This option is available when creating a Fibre Channel volume (FC). Blocksize indicates the nominal size, expressed in bytes, of a block of data. Possible values:

512 bytes
1024 bytes
2048 bytes
4096 bytes (default)

Blocksize has an influence on performance and space management. The greater value the better performance, but data might take up more space. This option is unavailable when modifying an FC volume and for FC snapshots.

Yes this needs to change as the GUI is correct but the Online manual needs to be updated as the 512 is the default.

I can confirm that I have presented LUN's from Open-E DSS to FalconStor NSS using 512 byte sector sizes fine.

If you are running some old O.S. such as Windwos XP, Win 98 or other older operating systems, then it is better to have 512 byte sector sized.
