Error Code: 32 -- The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.



My system and network drive is working quite good, so I don&#39;t know what is happening. The network drive is Read/Write.

OK. So I go to ADD REMOVE PROGRAM to uninstall this program, but there is no entry. I read NASPT.pdf but I did not found any information.
So.. I will erase this program from Program Files, and then I will go on Registry to manually delete some entries, and hope that I will not mess up Windows. :D:D:D

      <description><![CDATA[ &#34;While NASPT runs on a Windows XP or Windows Vista client, the target NAS device may run any operating system.&#34;

The NASPT client is the PC platform that runs the actual software. At
runtime, NASPT generates traffic from the client platform to the desired
storage device.

• Windows XP* SP2 or Windows Vista* operating system.

PLEASE don&#39;t lie in your documentation and say that you support XP SP2. It does _NOT_ support XP 64bit.

If there is a work around for the error &#34;NASPT Exerciser only supports client versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista&#34; please feel free to post it.

      <description><![CDATA[ This test series is everything we&#39;ve been looking for in terms of NAS testing.  If you could have read my mind, then write a program, it would have looked a lot like this.

Two questions:

1.  Would it be possible to extend each test to include file sizes etc set by the user?
2.  Where did the multi-io options go in version 1.7?

Cheers,
Dennis Wood

      <description><![CDATA[ Unfortunately this didn&#39;t work for me.  It spends an age running through the first step just to tell me it can&#39;t find the target drive anymore when I can quite happily access it myself. I have an Intel CPU and am using an ICYBOX NAS which runs SAMBA.  Several attempts later I gave up and uninstalled it. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Hi,

I run NAS-PT 1.7, all run fine, I have on one NAS a very low value (if I compare to another NAS on same network, other result are coherent with the difference of cpu and disk ...) the very low result is in "Content Creation", my question is : where I can read what exactly "content creation" do ? to try to understand the difference ... for info : for two similar NAS one run at :
Test: ContentCreation Throughput: 13.212 the other (lowest) at :
Test: ContentCreation Throughput: 2.162 ... other result are similar.

Thanks to redirect me to a link with explain about wath NAS-PT do in this test.
Regards.

      <description><![CDATA[ Content Creation transfers a few gigabytes of data using roughly 95% writes along with reads of numerous small files.  The traced workload is a user gathering several small input files into one big "mashup" style movie.  The write stream appears fairly random, which may be troublesome for some NAS devices.

Low performance could come from a variety of factors.  Perhaps there's not enough memory on the device to keep up with all those random writes.  The device could also be more optimized for sequential file access, which could be a good thing in most cases, but show up as a performance hit in this non-sequential case. ]]></description>

-------------------------

1.  This is being seriously considered for future development.  I will pass your request along.

2.  Multi-IO was confusing for many novice users, all the more so since Windows XP's* SMB redirector at the time did not really issue more than one I/O at a time anyway.  Users would crank up the queue depth to find that all they did was add threading overhead for a net performance loss.  With the release of SMBv2, with Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista*, the network redirector will now do more than one transaction at a time, so it may be worth putting back in.  Again, I'll pass your interest along.

      <description><![CDATA[ This simply does not work and gives know reason why.

I am using version 1.7.

The Office productivity test is prepared (which means it can find the NAS and write the files on to it).  I can access the NAS and view these files.

When I run the test - I simply get ERROR Test:Office Productivity was not successfully completed.  < OK >

And it does nothing after that.

Can someone please give some guidance - I tried the same with other tests and the result is the same.  It gives no comment as to why it failed.  Nothing written to logs of error msgs or anything.

Nothing.

      <description><![CDATA[ Kell:

There are some things you can try to narrow down the source of your issue:

-Try targeting another device with your test, even if you just target you local hard drive, and see if that works

-Try running a few different tests one at a time to see if any of them will work.
-Inside your results directory (default is <my documents>naspt tests ) you should see the results of your tests organised by manufacturer, model name, and date/time.  In each branch, you should see a NASPerf-APP.log file that may contain more information as to the source of the error.

Finally, please work with NASPT_support@intel.com.  They should be able to work with you and get your system up and running. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Please, our proposal for the 1.7.2+:

1) Return the multi-IO option (can be optional after OS check or in advanced settings)

2) Same test sets as in 1.6 (HD & Office, HD & Backup etc.) - it's impossible to migrate from 1.6 to use latest version in W7 on a new testbed. We tested lots of NASes in 1.6 and can't compare those results correctly with 1.7 :(

3) Batch would be great :)

4) Remembering last settings would be great (can be optional)

Thanks so much :)
P.S. 1 & 2 are so crazy important asap :( Is it possible to see updated version soon? ]]></description>
