EWFmgr commit

[Guest]

Hi All,

I am using EWF Ram Reg mode on hard disk. I have created a text file on my
protected volume, made some changes to it and save it. Then from the command
prompt I have executed a command ewfmger c: -commit.
I did not reboot the system immediately; later on I have created few more
text files on the protected volume. After that I restarted the system, I
found that all the new files that I created after entering commit command
were present on the protected volume, so does this means the ewf gets
disabled after the commit command and system starts writing to the protected
volume instead of writing the data to overlay?
If I don’t restart the system immediately after the committing the changes
on protected volume, will there be any side effect on the system performance.
(i.e memory or boot time performance etc.)

Regards
RD.

No, the EWF doesn't get disabled. When you execute "ewfmgr c: -commit"
the planed boot command changes from NO_CMD to COMMIT. You can change
this in any time before you reboot or shutdown your system back to
NO_CMD with "ewfmgr c: -nocmd". The commitment of the overlay takes
place when you reboot the system.

If I don’t restart the system immediately after the committing the changes
on protected volume, will there be any side effect on the system performance.

No. Why should there be side effects?
