When I read your reply it said there was a recent thread opened about that and gave a link.
Now it does not say that and talks about walking a directory. Walking a directory for a large volume is too slow. I already tried it and I was happy with the time it takes. What I want to do is read the volume as a file is read. I am currently reading files in 5kb sections and do this to EOF. I guess when I read about volumes it was in the C programming language. I know it it can be done with C and I might need to write a external to do it. I can read and write files in C. If there is a way to do it without writing a external it would be nice to give it a try.
