Hello, I'm trying to extend a ntfs filesystem in a qemu raw image, by following the instructions here: http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?p=12362 Of course, this requires sysutils/ntfsprogs and the equivalent of losetup. Of course, mdconfig is our losetup. Now, how is it possible to mdconfig a file, but starting from a specific offset? (Of course, taking the image file apart, mdconfig one of its fragments, then putting it back together could be a hackish work-around (?), but it would be nice if mdconfig were able to map a partial file directly.) Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
