Post subject:  Using MHDD ADVLOG.BIN

Hello,

What is real usage for ADVLOG.BIN created by MHDD? Each run for a 4TB generates a ADVLOG.BIN file nearly 500MB.

Also, how can I parse/explore this file, see its contents in a intelligible way ?

Thank you.

It appears that the log file consists of groups of 16 bytes, and each group represents a 255-sector block. These 16-bytes are comprised of a the starting LBA of each block (0, 0xFF, 0x1FE, 0x2FD ...) plus the delay in milliseconds.

((4 TB) / (255 x 512 bytes)) x (16 bytes) = 467 MiB

Ok, agree. But has anyone actually opened such a bin file? What/how did you use for that?
