bills Posted June 6, 2011 The latest SAS update seems to kill I/O. The drive just churns continually. (see the attached I/O from Process Explorer -- the hole in the middle is where I exited SAS, before restarting it). Is anyone else seeing this?

bills Posted June 7, 2011 What process are you referring to? Can you give us more details? Also no file was attached .. Process Explorer is a Microsoft Technet tool. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653 The attachment sometimes shows in the forum and sometimes not (!?!) But here it is again (SAS2.png). It pretty clearly shows the issue; which came about with the latest SAS update.

bills Posted June 8, 2011 Exactly though; what processes (not program) are you referring to that are constantly reading or writing to your drive? Not sure what you are looking for Sean. It's something in SAS (SuperAntiSpyware). When I run it, disk I/O goes way up. Refer to the graphic. When I exit SAS, the disk I/O drops to normal. Nothing else is running. This behavior began with a June update of SAS. What should I do (as a user) to tell what process/processes in SAS cause this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
