Re: Wimcapture Destination Dir

Just give it the full path, it works like all other programs do:

Re: dism mount WIM, update, wimlib append?

dism creates a whole tree on an NTFS volume and sets up reparse points so that the kernel and look back into a mounted WIM for the file data. wimlib will be capturing just these reparse points instead of the expected file data (it works quite different from how mounts work in Linux, for example). I ...

Re: Continue on error?

wimcapture isn't really great to run against trees that are in use and being modified. On Windows, you can add --snapshot so that the OS exposes a point-in-time view of the tree that shouldn't change when software modifies anything.

Re: Wimlib windows updates.

The wimupdate command is only a fairly "low-level" manipulation of the file tree of an image. You'll need to use DISM on Windows that actually knows how to handle update packages with all their required tree modifications and registry hive modifications.

Oh, excellent, I don't have to recreate the archive I have that exhibited the problem. Thanks for fixing this!

Timestamp bugs with files dated before the Unix epoch

Two different behaviors can be observed on both Windows and Linux with timestamps set before 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. Setup for testing is pretty simple (I used Cygwin on Windows, there might be a more native solution to manipulating timestamps, but regardless): mkdir timestamps TZ=UTC touch -d &quo...

Consistent data corruption bug with LZX and non-default (>32K) chunk sizes

I've discovered something alarming: A WIM file will be corrupt even directly after a capture, if using LZX compression and a chunk size greater than 32K. This doesn't always happen for all streams of data, but it seems to trigger most frequently on already-compressed files. As an example, linux-4.9....

Re: wimlib pauses during apply

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... Sounds like you've accidentally enabled a selection. If you see a reversed-colors block at the place you click, try hitting Enter and see if the program resumes...

Re: wimlib can't handle case sensitive names on Windows 10

I didn't get back to you earlier, but the change has worked great, thank you. Not-so-great is how Windows 10's LXSS interacts with ObCaseInsensitive. To put it simply, when 0, the subsystem is incapable of starting at all. So we've got a registry setting that's supposed to tell the kernel to be (or ...
