I was not sure where to post a question regarding the Space Savings Estimation Tool, if this is incorrect, I can re-post elsewhere.
I am trying to use the Space Savings Estimation Tool, version 3, and am running into "Error 2".
Running on Windows 2008R2, 64bit (and that OS and bit maybe the problem), against a Netapp CDOT 8.2.1P3 (and perhaps CDOT is the problem).
The scan seems to work successfully, but then after the files are all processed this message is posted in the command window:
Scanning finished. Sorting the FP file.
Could not open the sorted fp file
: No such file or directory
Error 2
The fp file is created, and is the what I would guess to be a reasonable size (10GB) for the amount of data scanned, approximately 1.5TB and 800,000 files.
The command I am using is:
E:\SSET_Win_Linux\sset3_0_windows>find_space -ac -f y:\sset-log\fingerprint.fp -p z:\(directoryname) -T y:\sset-log\
Where e:\ is a local drive, y:\ is a NetApp CDOT CIFS share, and Z:\ is also a NetApp CDOT CIFS share (different volumes)
I also tried with the find_space.exe being on the CIFS share too:
Y:\sset3_0_windows>find_space -ac -f y:\sset-log\fp.fp -p z:\(directoryname) -T y:\sset-log\
The fp files are created, and are consistent in each run (I am running the tool against a static copy of the data I am interested in compressing).

03/12/2015 10:07 PM 10,846,795,971 fp.fp
If the issue is the 64bit Windows OS, or CDOT, is there a way to run the tool just against the fp file now that it is created?
thanks for any suggestions,
Jeff
