Strange bulk logging

[Gerard]

All,

I have been test-driving Starwind for some time now.

My setup is 2x HP DL360 G7. Each DL360 has one RAID5 set over 8x300GB 10K SAS. One 60GB partition for OS, 2012 R2 + Hyper-V and one 1,85TB partition for Starwind. One dedicated 1GB link for replication and one link for heartbeat. Both connection are crossed (no switch in between).

All is working fine. Only I have a lot of logging which I do not understand. A lot of "Skip 2 bytes..." lines in log files.

Below some logging. What does it mean?
