Hi. I recently upgraded Starwind Virtual SAN on my two physical dedicated Supermicro servers from an much older version (like 2017-2018) to version 8.0.15159.0. I had some problems back in the day with unstability, and when I found a stable version I just sticked to that one.
Now after some years I finally upgraded my HA-pair to this version. Usage seems fine, and maybe a little bit quicker. I upgraded mostly because I have a few LUNs on WD Red SA500 4TB SSD's, and they have gotten really slow to write to. So I was hoping for better trim/unmap support to maybe help with garbage collection etc. As part of the troubleshooting I freed up and removed one target on one of the nodes. Doing so triggered a resync for all targets for some reason. After the resync was finished, I removed the target from the second node, and that also triggered a resync of all targets.
I tried recreating a single non-HA device added to a new target a couple of times, and one time all was as normal and one time it triggered a resync again (non-HA device).
I'm now really scared to recreate the full HA device, as it would be quite disasterous if I ended up with both nodes not being syncronized. I never had problems like this on the old version. (the license is for unlimited storage, 2 nodes).
Any advice? Is resync expected like this?
