Hello Stefan,
"splitting hard disk images" feature depends on win32 file system. I am
wondering
whether it is suitable to implement in raw-win32.c?? My idea is as follows:
(1) adding an array to store file descriptor related in BDRVRawState
(2) detect all splitted files in raw_open(). ie. consider
files filename.vhd, filename.v01,
filename.v02 ... . and construct the table to convert from sector_num
to splitted file
and offset (store in BDRVRawState, too).
(3) use table constructed in step2 to read, write and flush
(4) close all opened splitted files in raw_close()
Would you mind to give some advice about the solution I take in this
problem??
