error running HDS on Linux

[ae00711]

Hello!

long time windows user! (paid for pro version)

but switched to Linux last year - thank you so much for making the Linux edition free!

I am running Kubuntu 19.10 x64; I have 20 HDDs + 1 OS SSD

when I run HDS, it errors out with: "Segmentation fault"

any help please?

Sounds interesting.
Which version do you use? Did you try the latest 0.18c version for x64 system:

https://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin/hdsentinel-018c-x64.gz

What do you see if you try to run specifically to detect only a particular drive eg. with -dev /dev/sda parameter? Maybe we can filter out which drive (or its controller/connection) can cause troubles.

Also please try to start with -enabletest command line parameter and also create a report, so start this way:

./HDSentinel -enabletest -r report.txt

This saves a testmode.txt file which contains the steps performed during detection and "raw" response got from different devices (the report may be not created if you receive the error).

If you can send the testmode.txt and the report file (if created) to info (at) hdsentinel (dot) com address, I can examine the results on your system and verify what may cause and if there are things to modify/improve.

I am using the latest HDS, the one you linked

If I detect single drive it works successfully. I also tested by entering command to detect single HDD that doesn't exist, this gave the same error!

I have made the test file, will send shortly!

Thanks, the report arrived, will check and let you know the results.
