ImDisk: It is safe to mount disk with corrupted FS?
Best Answer Olof Lagerkvist , 17 December 2016 - 05:13 PM
No, it will not corrupt other files on host filesystem than the image file itself. If the image file size did not increase, the extra space was probably never written from filesystem cache down to actual ImDisk volume. I would guess that you could have some errors from fastfat.sys driver in your event logs that can explain more in detail how the filesystem driver handled this, but in general the extra bytes are simply lost and the filesystem in the image could be corrupt.
