busTRACE 9.0 Change Log

Block Devices: Added decoding support for the Get LBA Status CDB. This includes decoding each returned LBA status descriptor (LBA Status Logical Block Address, Number of Logical Blocks, and Provisioning Status).

busTRACE 9.0.087 - October 21, 2013

Product Enhancements

busTRACE: busTRACE was not compatible with Microsoft's SecureDigital Bus Driver (sdstor) and SD Storage Class Driver with our advanced filtering feature enabled. With this update, when we detect Microsoft's SD driver, we will automatically disable advanced filtering for the SD device. This kernel driver change will require a reboot if updating over a previous busTRACE version.

CDB Database Enhancements

Block Devices: Added decoding support for the FUAB (force unit access behavior) bit in the Block Device Characteristics VPD (B1h) page.

Bug Fixes

busTRACE: Under some instances, the header font in a multi-column tree control could turn from a standard font to a bold font. This has been fixed.
busTRACE: If you have configured busTRACE to show you the device's drive letters, and you then view the device properties, you might see a message telling you that you are using an older version of busTRACE even when using the latest build. This has been fixed.
busTRACE: When busTRACE has been configured to enumerate the device's drive letters, and the busTRACE capture is saved to file, upon reloading the capture file the drive letters do not appear. This has been fixed.
bysTRACE: In decoding the STORAGE_ADAPTER_DESCRIPTOR structure, under Windows 8 (and above), we were incorrectly showing the SrbType and AddressType fields as USHORT instead of UCHAR. This has been fixed.

busTRACE 9.0.085 - August 28, 2013

Product Enhancements

busTRACE: Minor improvements in caching ATA/SATA IDENTIFY page during device initialization.
busTRACE: Added an undocumented registry based feature to not capture specific SRB Functions.

Bug Fixes

busTRACE: Under some MultiPath/MPIO configurations, we are seeing some PnP activity cause an IRP to not complete properly only when busTRACE was active capturing I/O activity to the virtual device. This has been fixed.
busSTRESS: Fixed a bug that would cause the file system I/O failure to not be flagged. This then led to a downstream data miscompare failure even though the root caues of the failure was the initial file system I/O failure. This has been fixed.

Product Enhancements

busTRACE: Added additional Common Storage Management Interface (CSMI) decoding. For the CSMI_SAS_STP_PASSTHRU structure, added additional decoding if FIS Type 27h is detected (i.e. bCommandFIS, Host to Device FIS Layout). This includes decoding the FIS Type, PM Port, C bit, Command, Features, LBA, Device, Count, ICC, and Control fields.
busTRACE: Added additional Common Storage Management Interface (CSMI) decoding. For the CSMI_SAS_STP_PASSTHRU_STATUS structure, added additional decoding if FIS TYPE 34h is detected (i.e. bStatusFIS, Device to Host FIS layout). This includes decoding the FIS Type, PM Port, Interrupt, Status, Error, LBA, Device, and Count fields.
busTRACE: We now enumerate and save time zone information within the busTRACE capture file. This allows you to configure busTRACE showing date/times from the target system, or just use the timing based on your local system (the default).

CDB Database Enhancements

Disk Drives: For Read Capacity 16, instead of just showing you the hex drive capacity, we will now also show you the actual size in Mbytes or Gbytes.
CD/DVD/BD: Per the latest Mt. Fuji 8 draft specification, added decoding support for Version 1 of the DVD CSS Feature Descriptor (0106h). This version adds the BLTC bit. A logical unit that is intended for sale in Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania is allowed to have both Region 2 and 5 playback. This capability is indicated by the BLTC bit.

Bug Fixes

SAS Drives: For SAS-1 drives that return more than one Relative Target Port Identifier (i.e. Parameter Code) in the Protocol Specific Port log page for SAS, busTRACE might incorrectly indicate that there is a firmware defect when none is shown. This defect would not occur with SAS-2 drives. This has been fixed.

busTRACE 9.0.047 - February 17, 2011

Product Enhancements

busTRACE: Increased the TCP/IP timeout period for remote server transfers.
busTRACE: There is a defect analysis check to check the data transfer length. This defect check looks for miniport and/or firmware bugs that cause the amount of data transferred to be incorrect. With this update, we split this defect check into two options. One for successful I/Os, the other for failed I/Os. This gives the user more control over the defect check.
busTRACE: Added a new "Data Underrun" capture column. This column will show a blue flag icon whenever a data underrun is detected. A data underrun occurs when the data transferred is less than the data requested. For example, you issue an Inquiry CDB with a 128 bytes buffer and only 36 bytes are returned. This is a data underrun. Data underruns are not normally considered an error but can be if the device does not transfer as much data as it should.
busTRACE: Added capture and decoding support for IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_GET_TOPOLOGY_ADDRESS. This includes decoding the USB_TOPOLOGY_ADDRESS structure (e.g. PciBusNumber, PciDeviceNumber, PciFunctionNumber, RootHubPortNumber, and HubPortNumber).
busTRACE: Added capture and decoding support for IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_GET_PORT_STATUS including decoding the USBD_PORT_ENABLED bit and the USBD_PORT_CONNECTED bit.
busTRACE: Added capture and decoding support for IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_GET_DEVICE_CONFIG_INFO. This includes capturing and decoding the HUB_DEVICE_CONFIG_INFO structure. The Version, Length, HubFlags, HardwareIds, CompatibleIds, DeviceDescription, and UxdSettings fields are decoded for you.
busTRACE: Enhanced our decoding for IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_GET_HUB_COUNT by showing the returned hub count in the Data Structures window.
busTRACE: Added decoding support for the Common Storage Management Interface (CSMI) specification. Most CSMI IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT will now be decoded for you.

Product Enhancements

busTRACE: A new "LBA Range" command filter has been added to the available filters. This option allows you to filter from view all Read/Write sector requests that do not access sectors within a given LBA range. You can also specify if only Read, Write, or Verify/Seek requests that access sectors within the LBA range are shown.
busTRACE: In the Capture Devices docked window pane, we have added a new option to append the Device Serial Number after the device name. Those device objects that do not have a device serial number will not have anything appended to the device name.
busTRACE: Added a new "Device Serial Number" capture column. In addition to letting you see the device serial number in the Capture Devices pane, you can also see the serial number in the I/O Capture List (when available).
busTRACE: In the Tools->Driver Settings->Options, added a new "Cache ATA/ATAPI Identify Data" option. If an ATA/ATAPI/SATA device is detected, enabling this option will cause busTRACE to enumerate and cache the device's Identify page. Enabling this option enhances our ability to show you the device's true serial number. You can also view the raw hex Identify data in the System / Device Explorer. This option is enabled by default.
busTRACE: In the Tools->Driver Settings->Options, added a new "Cache Device Inquiry VPD Pages" option. When enabled, this option will cause busTRACE to enumerate and cache all the available VPD pages for a given CDB capable device.

Bug Fixes

Multiple Apps: Under Windows XP only, the CDB decoding was using a larger font than it was supposed too. This has been fixed.
busTRACE: Under Windows XP, and only with certain graphics drivers, some icons were being displayed with a black background instead of a transparent background. This has been fixed.
busTRACE: When copying the contents from a multi-column tree control, to the clipboard (as text), sometimes only the header was being copied to the clipboard. This has been fixed.
busPROBE. When enabling the option to show the drive letter as well as the device name, the drive letter was only shown for optical drives, not for your hard drives. This has been fixed.
busPROBE. When displaying the ATA Identify page, for some drive serial numbers, the very last digit was not being shown in the decoded output. This has been fixed.

busTRACE 9.0.037 - September 16, 2010

Product Enhancements

busTRACE: When you right click on a graphically decoded CDB, a new "Copy as Text" menu item will appear. Select this new option if you want the decoded CDB copied to the clipboard as text. The "Copy" option remains unchanged and will continue to copy the decoded CDB as a graphic image to the clipboard.
busTRACE: Added decoding support for IOCTL_ACPI_ASYNC_EVAL_METHOD when the Signature field of the ACPI_EVAL_INPUT_BUFFER structure contains ACPI_EVAL_INPUT_BUFFER_SIGNATURE. Currently we only decode the inbound data.

Bug Fixes

Start Menu: When you minimize the start menu to the taskbar (i.e. taskbar icon), you can right click on the task icon to quick launch one of the applications. Previously, one of the quick launch applications was not placed in the correct position (did not match the GUI position). This has been fixed.
busTRACE: Fixed a minor bug that could cause multiple I/O Capture analysis when you change the options settings (under Tools->Options). No error occurs, it just causes an unnecessary repeat of the analysis. This has been fixed.
busTRACE: Fixed a potential Windows hang situation when you have boot capture enabled and USB device descriptors are captured.
Uninstall. If you are uninstalling busTRACE from a system that does NOT have an Internet connection, the deactivation procedure would work but would require that you cancel out of the deactivation wizard (instead of clicking Next). This has been fixed.

busTRACE 9.0.033 - August 25, 2010

Product Enhancements

busTRACE: SSD drives that support the TRIM command will have an IOCTL_STORAGE_MANAGE_DATA_SET_ATTRIBUTES request sent to the device object. This lets the disk drive know which blocks are no longer used by the file system and allows an SSD drive to optimize its performance. The input structure for this IOCTL is the DEVICE_MANAGE_DATA_SET_ATTRIBUTES structure. busTRACE 9.0 has always captured this IOCTL, including the inbound data structure. With this update, we will now decode the DEVICE_MANAGE_DATA_SET_ATTRIBUTES structure (available in the Data Structures tab). Also, if any data set ranges are provided, we will decode the inbound array of DEVICE_DATA_SET_RANGE structures.
- Within the DEVICE_MANAGE_DATA_SET_ATTRIBUTES structure, we will decode the Size, Action (DeviceDsmAction_None, DeviceDsmAction_Trim, or DeviceDsmAction_Notification), Flags, ParameterBlockOffset, ParameterBlockLength, DataSetRangesOffset, and DataSetRangesLength.
- Within the DEVICE_DATA_SET_RANGE structure, we will decode the StartingOffset and LengthInBytes fields.
busTRACE: Added decoding support for the outbound data returned from IOCTL_STORAGE_CHECK_PRIORITY_HINT_SUPPORT. This includes decoding the STORAGE_PRIORITY_HINT_SUPPORT structure as well as its SupportFlags field (i.e. IoPriorityVeryLow, IoPriorityLow, IoPriorityNormal, IoPriorityHigh, IoPriorityCritical).
busTRACE: Added a new "Enable multi-core optimizations" setting in our I/O Handling options. All versions of busTRACE 9.0 have made use of multiple CPUs when present. With this update, we provide a user option to disable our use of multiple CPUs.
busTRACE: For storage devices, (i.e. IOCTL_STORAGE_BASE), IOCTL function codes 0x0463 to 0x0468 are reserved for dependent disk support. Microsoft has not publicly defined these IOCTLs other than to state they're reserved. With this update, rather than just decoding the individual IOCTL components, we'll now show you that the IOCTL is reserved for dependent disk support along with the IOCTL function code.
busTRACE: For storage devices, (i.e. IOCTL_STORAGE_BASE), IOCTL function codes 0x0643 to 0x0655 are reserved for VHD disk support. Microsoft has not publicly defined these IOCTLs other than to state they're reserved. With this update, rather than just decoding the individual IOCTL components, we'll now show you that the IOCTL is reserved for VHD disk support along with the IOCTL function code.
busTRACE: Ehanced our decoding of captured SCSI_REQUEST_BLOCK function SRB_FUNCTION_IO_CONTROL. We'll now decode the SRB_IO_CONTROL structure and more where possible.
busTRACE: We now cache the boot capture size that you select so that it can be used each time you initiate a boot capture without busTRACE reverting to its default value.
busTRACE: When capturing SCSI_REQUEST_BLOCK IRPs (SRBs), we look at the user configured capture size to determine how much of the data transfer to capture. Previously, we did this for any type of SRB. With this update, we will now limit the capture size for SRB_FUNCTION_EXECUTE_SCSI. Other SRB functions, such as SRB_FUNCTION_IO_CONTROL, we'll capture the entire data buffer.
busPROBE: Enhanced our decoding of the IDENTIFY page, adding additional decoding for SATA-3 devices and Zero Power ODD (Optical Disc Drives).

CDB Database Enhancements

All Devices: Updated our sense code tables to the latest available t10 specifications. This includes adding decoding values for:

- 20A5h - SPL T10/2124-D revision 7
All Devices: Updated our IEEE OUI decoding to the latest company IDs defined by IEEE.

Bug Fixes

busTRACE: Under some conditions, when capturing a Read Attribute CDB, busTRACE could incorrectly report that a firmware defect was detected in the captured CDB. However, when you click on the CDB to view the decoded CDB, no error was shown. In actuality, there was no error and the CDB decoding is accurate. It's just the initial report that is incorrect. This has been fixed.
busTRACE: When exporting to a CSV or XML spreadsheet file, with inbound data captured, the inbound data was not being displayed in the raw data column. This has been fixed.
busPROBE: On Windows 7.0, with some ATA/ATAPI drivers, busPROBE was unable to show you the device IDENTIFY page. This has been fixed.

busTRACE 9.0.031 - July 21, 2010

Product Enhancements

busTRACE: When reading in an older busTRACE capture file (before 9.0), the file is first converted into a 9.0 file format. Previously, if there was any device ID information stored in the older capture file (i.e. Path ID, Target ID, Lun), this information was not carried over into the 9.0 file. With this update, the device ID is now carried forward.

CDB Database Enhancements

SAS Devices: Updated our decoding of the SAS Phy Control and Discover mode page (Protocol Specific Port Page - Phy Control and Discover Subpage). We now show you the Generation Code value. Within the SAS phy mode descriptor, we now show you the Attached Reason and Reason values. We'll also show you the actual link rate values (instead of just hex values) for the Negotiated Logical Link Rate, Programmed Minimum Physical Link Rate, Programmed Maximum Physical Link Rate, Hardware Minimum Physical Link Rate, and the Hardware Maximum Physical Link Rate.
SAS Devices: For devices that return the SAS-2 Protocol-Specific Port log page, added decoding for any reported Phy event descriptors embedded within the SAS phy log descriptor.
All Devices: Per the latest SBC and SSC specifications, we have added minor enhancements to our mode page, log page, and VPD page definitions.

Bug Fixes

busSCRIPT: When creating an executable script, the target executable was not able to save the captured busTRACE results to file on some systems. You would receive the a "Compression File Failure! Compression Engine Failure" error message. This has been fixed.
