I have started RAW imaging a 1TB disk to a drive that had 700GB of free space. I expected that XWF will ask for a new destination to continue once the first is filled up, and place the .002 file there. Now XWF is not responding, it has written about 650GB to the first destination (according to taskmgr), the destination files have currently 0 length. There was no sign of any question/message. Strange is that the drive still has 33GB free. I really need that image to span over 2 destinations. Am I using the right approach? |

P.S. I tried restating with "split image into segments of 710000 GB" but XWF stated this was an invalid input. Would not any size be valid for RAW images? If yes, could that be corrected? |

If X-Ways Forensics can know the amount of available space on the output drive (maybe not on remote network drives), when during imaging it runs out of drive space, you get the message "Drive space is low. Please specify where to write the next segment." > Am I using the right approach? Yes, you are. I don't know why it does not work in your situation. It works fine here, I just tried again. > Would not any size be valid for RAW images? Yes, sure. But does that mean that support for any segment is supported? No. > If yes, could that be corrected? There is nothing that needs to be corrected. The maximum value for that variable is 65,535, i.e. 64 GB. The idea is that this function allows to split to sizes as needed for CDs, DVDs, FAT32 volumes. |
