    More and More we are seeing volumes much larger thatn 2TB in VMware environments. Up to 62TB datastores are supported in current VMware releases. Cloning and mirroring both could use a boost with warnings.

    Hello,

    considering the increasing size of single flash modules, this becomes an increasingly important topic.

    This would be a great benefit for any customer, regardless if the system is deployed as a stretched or normal cluster. And considering the flashcopy rate (-copyrate) got a bump in 7.8.1, why not implement the same limits to vdisk mirroring (-syncrate).
