Hi, i found a bizarre behaviour in rebuild a MAME set over an exFAT volume.
Actually I'm using a dual Xeon 24 core total and 128 GB of ram and 3 Hard Drive.
The first one (C:) contains the OS, Windows Server 2016
The second one (D:) has all the WIP roms
The last one (E:) is the target for the rebuilder of clrmamepro
The same test has been replicated using a different pc equipped with an i7, 32GB of memory and 3 Hard Drive (new ones) and with both windows 10 / 8.1 as operating system
It happens that the rebuild end correctly and from the scanner seem all ok too, but when checking the zip files, using the test function of 7z itself or different tools like total commander, and average of 10 / 15 archive results as corrupted
What is strange is that after running the rebuilt more times (deleting the zip before each run of course) the corrupted archive are not always the same, nor their number that can be more or less.
Also the zip size or the number of files in it, don't appear to be a discriminating factor as you can get bigger files or small ones broken.
Usually I'm running CMPro from a 48GB ramdisk (a bit smaller one on the i7 pc) using the free ImDisk (
http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/) , but even disabling it and executing from the hd don't change the results.
I also checked to exclude the cmpro task from the antivirus and the rebuild destination
However there are no problem if I rebuilt to 7z over exFAT volume, or if the same disk is formatted again in NTFS
PS. I also tried in using different allocation unit size for the exFAT volume, and I've been able to rebuild a complete TOSEC set, but no luck with MAME
