Image File being split up (would only like 1 large .GHO file

[JShimp]

Just curious if anyone has found the answer to this,

 

When capturing an image I have specified the comman -split=0 to try and force the image file to not be split into the 2.0GB .GHO files.

 

unfourtunetly this has not stopped GSS from splitting my image files up.

Has anyone found a way to allow them to save one large image file rather than having them split up? I would like this just so we can keep out image files a little more organized without have 20-50 files for one image.

You can only get a single large file if you write the image to a local hard disk or a USB connected hard disk. I'm guessing that you are currently writing the image to a network location, and in this case Ghost will always split files as it cannot determine what type of file system it is writing to (over the network) and the worst case file system can only handle 2Gb files.

JShimp,

 

You can use the -SPLIT switch by adding -SPLIT=0 to your job, this will produce a file that is not split up into smaller sections.

Bryce M - did you bother to read the original posting?  The bit where the O/P states clearly that the -SPLIT=0 has been tried?

JShimp,

 

If you are using PXE then edT is correct in that you cannot use -SPLIT to make one file across the network due to an unknown disk type.

however...

You may use GhostCast or a bootdisk to create images that are not split up into multiple files.
