Cannot start photon with externa USB data drive

[mebitek]

Hi,
I'm running photon in a docker container.
if I use the data dir in the local hard disk (ssd) I can run it but if I copy the data dir in the external storage I get:

root@97d6ce37c164:/photon# java -jar photon.
photon.jar  photon.pid  
root@97d6ce37c164:/photon# java -jar photon.jar -data-dir /photon/

the external storage is a fast sdd disk connected with USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port

here the hdparam test:

internal disk:
[mebitek@bael]  ~  sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda3
/dev/sda3:
Timing cached reads: 33892 MB in 1.97 seconds = 17208.85 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 670 MB in 3.00 seconds = 223.09 MB/sec

external disk:
[mebitek@bael]  ~  sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1:
Timing cached reads: 31970 MB in 1.97 seconds = 16234.01 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 958 MB in 3.02 seconds = 316.93 MB/sec

could you please help me?

This rather looks like the data on your disk is corrupted. Are you sure that copying worked without errors? Also: did you make sure that Photon/ES was not running when you did the copy?

Yes, it is working. I have copy in /home/user and on in the external drive /mint/photon. First one works without problem, external one gives to me the error I reported
