Re: File concurrently modified code 88

Yes, you used the commands correctly, although --update-of is more effective when appending an image to an existing WIM archive, as opposed to creating a new one. The error message is a little misleading in this case. It was originally intended to appear if any files being archived were being modifi...

Re: Decrease fragmentation when using ntfs-3G

Yes, this has been reported before and I am planning to investigate it sometime. The current code is actually already intended to preallocate the space for each file, but perhaps it doesn't work as intended.

Re: [ExclusionException] not working

I should add, however, that the default capture configuration file is documented [1], so you could manually create a new configuration file based on that file.

wimlib 1.9.2 released

wimlib version 1.9.2 has been released. There are a few small changes: On UNIX, wimlib can now overwrite readonly files when extracting. On Windows, fixed a bug where wimlib could leave a null DACL (a.k.a. "no NTFS permissions") set on some existing directories after extraction. On Windows...

Re: [ExclusionException] not working

Yes, just use "source list" mode. For the example you gave, create sources.txt containing:

Code: Select all

c:\Users\test\AppData\Local\test \Users\test\AppData\Local\test
Then do:

Code: Select all

wimcapture sources.txt out.wim --source-list
See the documentation for details.

Re: [ExclusionException] not working

Files underneath an excluded directory are not scanned. Therefore, in your example, the path \Users\test\AppData\Local\test is never seen by wimlib at all. Currently, the use case for [ExclusionException] is to name specific file(s) which should be included despite matching a wildcard pattern. This ...

Re: Applying a wim archive captured with --source-list and broken NTFS permissions

Good news --- I found a workaround for the Windows bug that does not require changing directories' security descriptors. This entirely avoids the problem you've described, as wimlib now will never change the existing security descriptors (except when it actually needs to set a security descriptor gi...

Re: Applying a wim archive captured with --source-list and broken NTFS permissions

Hi, With regards to capturing the image: when a file or directory is added to a WIM image, wimlib creates any prerequisite ancestor directories with default metadata, including "no security descriptor". In your example, this applied to the root directory of the image. Since wimlib cannot, ...
