Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

Actually the issue looks like it reproduces even on a regular Windows installation (with secure boot disabled and test signing enabled), so it is a bona file bug in the driver which can hopefully be fixed in short order.

Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

Looks like the driver's own test case is failing, so either it is an issue with the WinRE setup, or a bona fide bug in the driver.

We probably are all set on the wimlib side of things, and waiting for the developer to respond.

Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

Force loading the driver in test signing mode does not seem to have helped, the log is still full of the same errors.

We'll keep digging.

Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

Thanks for the support.

Changing wimlib was easy enough, we're trying to get the driver to load successfully in our Windows RE environment so we may finalize testing.

Right now our log is full of errors related to (K)EA assignment, so it stands to reason that our changes to wimlib were successful.

Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

It's great to hear the build is now simpler. According to the MS docs I linked to above: Querying the EAs on a file from user mode returns both normal and Kernel EAs. So the most logical place of insertion would be in your own code. I completely understand your reluctance to do so, at least the time...

Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

Great news, I've got the first build of the driver saving KEA, a command line tool, and a DLL which all show how to consume it: setea_poc.7z This should solve all remaining WIMLIB file-based imaging issues for all Windows systems that block level tools don't experience. Would you be able to integrat...

Re: ARM64 Support

No, it requires a (much bigger) exclusion list, simular to a Windows 7 release using wimboot. Very interesting - are you sure a large enough exclusion list would address this problem? Do you have any lists of files you are willing to share? This also seems to be hardware depending, so for an end-us...

Re: ARM64 Support

Oh, did notice this topic is from 2018. Your right about WIMBOOT not working on ARM64, but don't think the driver is the problem. It's more like there is no early boot support through bootmgr.efi and winload.efi. There's isn't any chance we might be able to address that as a third party, is there?

Re: Consider hosting code at GitHub

Is this the best idea, given the whole recent brouhaha about how all code hosted on GitHub is being used to train AI based code generators in breach of the most commons of the EULA?

Re: ARM64 Support

Glad you got it working. My effort was some time ago so I'm not sure I would have been much help today. At any rate the WIMBOOT driver for ARM64 just doesn't work and Microsoft has no plans to fix it considering it a deprecated technology, so this was an area of abandoned research effort for us here...
