Hello;

I am trying to demo storscore with a plugged in usb drive with a sata disk inside of it and with a sandisk usb flash drive since I can not afford to trash my laptop's filesystem.

So preconditions fails with the following error:

Cleaning disk...
Creating new filesystem...
Creating test file...
Syncing target volume...
SmartCtl missing or broken. SMART capture disabled.
Ipmiutil missing or broken. Power measurement disabled.
Access is denied.
Precondition returned non-zero errorlevel at C:/cygwin64/home/utz_j/GIT/StorScor
e\lib/PreconditionRunner.pm line 121.

I get this same problem in both cases, any suggestions? Your help would be appreciated.

Complete capture follows:

C:\cygwin64\home\utz_j\GIT\StorScore>StorScore.cmd --target .\PHYSICALDRIVE1 r
ecipes\flush_check.rcp
Targeting HDD: SanDisk SanDisk Ultra USB Device

Loaded recipes\corners.rcp (24 tests, 24 steps)

    Run time will be >= 1.02 days after target init (1 overwrite).

    Warning!

    This can delay IOs and cause bogus latency results.
    You have the following options:
        - Run on a machine without SCEP
        - Disable SCEP real-time protection
        - Exclude testfile.dat from SCEP scan.

    Warning!
    This will destroy \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1

Do you wish to continue? [Y/N]

Can you run with --verbose and post the output?

Everything seems fine up until we try to initialize the target with precondition.exe. Are you running as administrator?

I am indeed running as admin, because storscore complains if you dont run in an admin shell.

good question tho!

tnx!

I see a reference to Cygwin in your earlier comment. Can you try running under a standard Windows CMD.exe (admin, of course) if you haven't done this already?

I am running it in a standard windows cmd.exe, i just have my git stuff stashed in my cygwin home directory

It must be something to do with the USB drive. I can't say I've ever tested that before.

I think the next step would be to create a debug build of precondition.exe and manually run "precondition.exe -n1 -p"Initializing target: " -Y E:\testfile.dat" under the debugger, to see exactly what is failing.

Is that something you could do?

That is something i could conceivably do.

Or, since it's my personal usb housing and old drive, i can donate it to the cause, are you in redmond or bellevue by chance?

John: thanks for dropping off the drive. Believe it or not, it seems to work perfectly fine on my system! See below. It reached the initialization step and started making progress at 29 MB/sec.

Completely peculiar.

did you do this on a desktop or a laptop? i did this on my dell latitude e6430s.

i have experienced circumstances where laptop usb ports provide just a little less current than needed, so the drive seems like the drive is happy but it's not quite right.

I will drop by and get it this week and try it on some different usb ports such as the ones on my docking station and see what happens.

OK sounds like a plan. Yeah, I did this on a workstation.

Hey guys, mind if I close this issue?

Another thought -- depending on what you're demoing, you could point StorScore at a single file.
