Can't run on an empty partition

[dcabro]

stressdisk on windows will not run on an empty partition. It reports "Couldn't read directory "X:": open X:: Access is denied."

As soon as I created one empty directory, it runs without problems. I run this from elevated prompt (with admin rights).

Was the partition formatted? Stressdisk can't run on an unformatted partition which I should probably make clearer in the docs.

I tried to reproduce this with an empty network share (with VirtualBox) and I ran

stressdisk run y:

And it worked OK. How can I reproduce the problem?

Yes it was formatted ( I read the instructions before trying to use it).

Well, in order to reproduce the issue, you'd probably need to have
exactly the same setup, e.g. local empty formatted disk under Win7 64bit.

Like I described, as soon as I created one empty directory, it started
running. I've even tried to delete the directory (and have empty
partition) and to run it again to verify - and i threw an error.

I managed to check my disk so I'm fine, but just wanted you to know in
case someone else will have this problem as well.

Thanks for the great tool!

Cheers

I've got hold of a real Windows 7 machine now and I've managed to reproduce the issue.

I think this is an issue in go which I've reported: http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=4601

We'll see what the go developers think though!

In the mean time I'll try to make a work-around

This should be fixed now!
