wimlib

Edit: Well In now think it actually pauses because I click into the power shell window which seems to be a feature of powershell itself...


OS: Server 2012 R2

I had wimlib pausing execution for no apparent reason the secound time now. The first time was with an official version (I think it was 1 ...

Have you tested the command on files that are inaccessible due to wrong reparse point information? Mabye that's the problem, although I hoped that wouldn't be an issue for deleting reparse points.

Thanks for your hint for only skipping Data Deduplication reparse points, that sounds a lot better ...

Good idea but I only get an "error: access denied" (running as admin).

I took a look into the source code of wimlib and found do_set_reparse_point in win32_apply.c. Is this where all the reparse points are written after writing the data? So I maybe could just try to replace the function body with ...

Ok, I did a small test (only a few files) with version 1.10.0 vs version 1.11.0-BETA2
The wim captured by 1.11 is a little smaller, about 1%, but this propably hevily depends on the use case.

Thanks for your quick work.

Sadly it doesn't help, the issue after extraction stays the same.

So I tried creating a small new wim (using imagex with verify, check and no compression) that contains the issue and after a few iterations I succeded.
It just contains two small, identical files. One of ...

Thanks for your quick reply.
As far as I know you are correct about how Window's deduplication works.

I did not include System Volume Information but I verified that the wim contains the contents of the problematic files. I also verified that the extraction also extracts these data.
I assume that ...

I created a wim with imagex (using verify and check, no compression) from a volume which had deduplication (dhe one integrated into Win 2012R2 Server) enabled. Extracting using verify and check failed badly after a few files. Extracting without verify+check succeeded but most of the files were not ...
