OFSMount wc option create a cache file

[haider86]

Hi

I tried to mount an E01 with ro option (OFSmount.exe -a -t file -f path -o ro) but it give me an error and suggestion, that E01 has some MBR issue, mount it using wc option, if i used to mount it using wc option (OFSmount.exe -a -t file -f path -o wc) it mount the E01 correctly but created a raw file with same size as E01, if I have an E01 of 1TB then it creates a raw file of 1TB.

Issue is:

It created the raw file next to E0. if the drive is write protected or low disk space then I need to copy it to some other drive, is it possible to give an option where to store the raw or cache file?

Thank you

Is the E01 you are mounting a image of the whole disk?
Or is it a single partition? If so, try mounting with Logical emulation instead:
osfmount.com -a -t file -f <filepath> -m #:

>created a raw file with same size as E01, if I have an E01 of 1TB then it creates a raw file of 1TB.
How long did it take to mount? It would normally take some time to create a 1TB file

Could also try mounting the E01 through the GUI instead

I'm mounting it as a whole disk. cannot mount as logical emulation because i don't know how many partition the E01 has currently. Mounting is ok and speed is also fine,

> How long did it take to mount? It would normally take some time to create a 1TB file
The issue is if the drive is write protected on which E01 located, and i mount using wc command it fails, and there is no way to specify where the cache will be saved, can you give some option in which i can specify the path of the cache file?

I have a small java app, which i use for some other purpose, need to mount the E01 in that app to search file etc.
