I want report some problems with mountings vdi files (dynamically extending) on my computer (Windows 7 x64)

 

I've make little .bat script that mount vdi file. I've added menu item to vdi file context menu that run this script. When I'm chosing the menu item in Everything search I allways get BSOD:

BSOD code: 0x0000c1f5, file and address: CLFS.SYS+286eb

 

I is strange becouse I don't get BSOD (I guess) when chose this menu item outside Everything.

 

Usually when I try mount my vdi file outside Everything by my context menu item or simply by command line I get the output:

... and nothing happens. However, sometimes mounting works out.

This is usually due to incompatible alignment requirement emulation.

Another thread on this matter: http://reboot.pro/to...-expanding-vhd/

 

That thread is about devio.exe (the non-.NET version) and you could set alignment manually in that case. Unfortunately, that is not possible with DiscUtilsDevio.exe (.NET version). But I will change the alignment emulation to 1 instead of 512 in next release of DevioNet.
