1. Fixed a bug of admin password.
2. Removed reserve(6) restriction.
3. Support Windows 2008 core.

Exclusive reservation (0x16) is removed because someone ask to connect
more than one ESX to iSCSI Cake. However, persistent reservation is
exclusive.

FYI, the download link for this seems to be broken.

(For what it's worth, I'm REALLY looking forward to the x64 version of
iSCSICake. x86 works fine on x64 for me, but I still much prefer
native 64-bit solutions. Of course, I'd rather see GPT support first,
but I can wait for that a while longer, you guys ROCK as it is)

Now the site is online.

The download link for x64 version is:

Thank you for your support. GPT is on our task list, but of lower
priority since not as many customers are requesting that feature and
you can get around it using physical disk mode.

Here's another vote for GPT.

Obviously you know your customers, so the following suggestion is just a "what if"...

Your customers might reflect your feature set and not necessarily what the iSCSI market wants to/could grow into.  Again, I think you stand uniquely poised to fill a vacuum.  Ethernet is only growing, and this make iSCSI a shoe-in.  Two 1.5TB Seagates in RAID 0, or three in RAID 5 costs only a couple times as much as your license.  This means providing access to large storage would open doors in your price band.   Small businesses, hightech media hogs and one-man-bands *can* afford your software, not just freebie downloaders.  For example, I would readily pay $200 for the following feature set:

x64 (not just for kicks - I do heavy media work and use VMs)
GPT (I have "large" drive sets for backup for local and my other workstation)
loopback or 64-bit vmdk handling

To simulate a GPT disk is not as easy as MBR disk and it will cost you
more than 2000 bucks :P
Seriously, we have a long todo list includes large memory support in
32 Windows, replication, and CDP support. So we have to make tradeoff
between time and new features.

Haha - but, of course, I'm sure your development work isn't actually easy in any respect, so I'll just take that one on the chin.

I'll report on the 4TB physical disk problem (showing up as 97GB) tomorrow.
