View Full Version : vstrip - start/end lba in cli?

Using version 0.8d_css.


I have been unable to figure out how to set a start and end lba while using the cli version. I have read the vstrip guide (http://doom9.org/vstrip.htm), command option documentation, and the history file. I only stopped there because that seems to be the extent of the available documentation.

This is what I've found that seems to suggest this is possible:

under 0.7b heading in history file:
- renamed ofs_packets & num_packets to start_lba & end_lba
- made it stop after (not on) end_lba, therefore now 0xffffffff means process all (and is default)

The "-s" option works fine for setting start lba in cli, and the gui is able to set both start and end lba.

I gathered from this that using a hex value in a command would set end lba, but couldn't get any result after fiddling with the command syntax.

Thanks for any help. Also, thanks to maven for working on vstrip, a great program I wish I understood a bit better.

you can only (currently) set start-lba in the command-line version. end-lba works only in the GUI. the code understands end-lba, i simply haven't added a command-line flag to set that yet (to main.c). i'm running out of letters... ;)
