Enables support for large file record segments FRS.

Geared more for the reverser, this allows one to pull any cluster run from a volume. An example is shown below:. The above example pulls the first 4 clusters from the 'c' partition. To process an image that has been already acquired and is in the 'dd' format, one uses the —image switch. This option can be used in two flavors.

If the image is of an entire drive then one needs to explicitly specify the offset of the location of the volume you wish to target. On the other hand, if the image is only of a volume, then you do not need to specify the offset of the volume since it is presumed to be at offset 0. For the first case, where an offset needs to be explicitly specified, ntfscopy will help the user in locating where the NTFS volume offsets are.

If one just issues the —image command without the offset, and there is not a NTFS volume at offset 0 eg. This behavior was meant to be an aid to the user so that one does not need to resort to other tools to determine where the offsets for the NTFS volumes are in an image.

Below is a screenshot what is displayed to the user in this situation. Shown in the screenshot is a —image command that is issued without the offset. Another nuance with using images as the source is when specifying a path to a directory within the image to analyze. Since the image is not mounted as a drive, one really should not associate it with a drive letter when specifying the path.

If one does do this, ntfscopy will ignore the drive letter and proceed to try to find the path starting at the root directory which is at MFT entry 5 for NTFS volumes. The —src and —dst keywords are used to identify the source and destination files.

Note that the source does not have a drive letter, but the destination does. One could have specified the offset of the NTFS volume using the —offset option, as well. This option is still considered experimental since it has only been tested on a handful of configurations.

Furthermore, this option is limited to monolithic type VMWare images versus split images. In VMWare , the term split image means the volume is separated into multiple files, while the term monolithic virtual disk is defined to be a virtual disk where everything is kept in one file. When working with virtual machines, the capability to handle snapshot images is important.

In this case, each filename represents a segment in the inheritance chain of VMDK files eg. To aid the user in figuring out exactly the chain of descendant images, ntfscopy can take any VMDK file presumably the VMDK of the snapshot one wishes to analyze and determine what the descendant chain is.
