missing 4k sector imaging support within Ghost

  • 1.  missing 4k sector imaging support within Ghost

    Hello,

    I apologize for the rant... but we were not aware of this limitation when we purchased GSS about two years ago and now I'm frustrated as we spent all this time customizing the system that we might have to move off of.

    We've initially ran into this issue about a year ago with DELL servers that had the newer H965 RAID controllers and were told that support will be written in the future releases.  I've been hoping that support for imaging over 4kn sectors would have been written in by this time but still nothing (two RUs later).  We recently had to order a bunch of newer servers and all of them came with the newer controllers that only utilize 4k sectors in RAID mode.  

    Support is still not able to advise on any kind of outlook except that it is going to be added in the future. 

    For now, our temporary workaround is to disable RAID function and just use the OS software mirroring... but this is not a sustainable solution.

    Thank You!
