Node.js and File System on Windows - EBUSY error

Question

I'm new to Node.js and I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with the following code.

var fs = require('fs');
var dir = "C:\\";
var files = fs.readdirSync(dir);
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    var name = fs.statSync(dir + files[i]).name;
}

When running this code I get the error:

Error: EBUSY, resource busy or locked 'C:\hiberfil.sys'
    at Object.statSync (fs.js:424:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (S:\start.js:7:19)
    at Module._compile (module.js:446:26)
    at Object..js (module.js:464:10)

Answer 1

Hiberfil.sys is a system file that holds the hibernation data onto disk, you cannot just read it via normal rights, it's super confidential since it hold all memory information on disk.

Answer 2

After having a similar issue without finding a sufficient answer:

I have fixed it by searching for circular dependencies.

After fixing it, I was able to run everything normally.
