Copying Spinrite.exe to a NAS drive - Strange Occurence

[STEMApps]

Once I had downloaded Spinrite 6.1 to my Windows 10 download folder, I copied it to my Synology NAS and then executed it. I got a message.

Went back to the Windows download folder and executed it and no problem.

Tuned off my anti-virus and copied it again back to the Synology NAS drive and then got the same error message.

Anyone have any idea why?

I'm presuming that SpinRite's self-verification routine doesn't know how to properly utilize UNC file paths. @Steve might have more to say about that.

I didn't have the same issue with 6.0.

I wonder if it could be affected by the file system used on the NAS? Is that NTFS or something else? Perhaps the block sizes are different and some extra bytes are getting read.

I figure it's the NAS file system too. I have the Synology NAS set up as a Hybrid RAID SHR-2. It has six drives - 8 TB each. My laptop is NTFS.

SpinRite 6.1 requires a DOS environment to run in, for drive scanning.

One would think ... but then I considered the wording in the OP.
