ewfOpen returned invalid file handle

[Helmuth]

Hi everybody!

I have a 1GB flash disk. Ultimately I would like to have 2
partitions (C: and D which are both protected by the
EWF. In the target designer I entered the following for
the EWF:

EWF Volume Configuration:
Maximum Number of Protected Volumes: 2
Maximum Number of Overlay levels: 1
EWF partition size in KBytes: 1024
Protected Volume # 1 (Volume # 2)
Start EWF enabled: not checked (not checked)
Enable Lazy write: not checked (not checked)
Disk Number: 0 (0)
Partition Number: 1 (2)
Disk Type: IDE (IDE)
Overlay Type: RAM (RAM)
Optimisation option: Optimal Performance checked
(Performance checked)

I did not change anything in the advanced settings. I
created 2 partitions with diskpart. I named them C: and E:
(because I am booting from the CD, which is using D.
When booting with the image, after final booting, the EWF
partition is missing. I pasted the relevant section of the
FBALOG.TXT below:

I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certian that RAM or RAM-
Reg based EWF overlays will only support 1 protected
volume. If you need to support more than one volume, you
need to create a Disk based overaly. This will require
you to create an additional (3rd) partition to store the
overlay data.

Hi Tony,

You are right that he need 3 partitions, but according to his log EWF was
able to create config partition, but then it fails for some unknown reason.

Maybe he need to use new QFE.

Sounds to me like another case of the "removable vs non-removable" bit
in the compact flash card. I have the same problem with my current
system. I'm waiting for Sandisk tech support to send the application to
change the bit state before confirming, though.

Sounds to me like another case of the "removable vs non-removable" bit
in the compact flash card. I have the same problem with my current
system. I'm waiting for Sandisk tech support to send the application to
change the bit state before confirming, though.

Hi Tony,

You are right that he need 3 partitions, but according to his log EWF was
able to create config partition, but then it fails for some unknown reason.

Maybe he need to use new QFE.

I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certian that RAM or RAM-
Reg based EWF overlays will only support 1 protected
volume. If you need to support more than one volume, you
need to create a Disk based overaly. This will require
you to create an additional (3rd) partition to store the
overlay data.

Hi everybody!

I have a 1GB flash disk. Ultimately I would like to have

2

partitions (C: and D which are both protected by the
EWF. In the target designer I entered the following for
the EWF:

EWF Volume Configuration:
Maximum Number of Protected Volumes: 2
Maximum Number of Overlay levels: 1
EWF partition size in KBytes: 1024
Protected Volume # 1 (Volume # 2)
Start EWF enabled: not checked (not checked)
Enable Lazy write: not checked (not checked)
Disk Number: 0 (0)
Partition Number: 1 (2)
Disk Type: IDE (IDE)
Overlay Type: RAM (RAM)
Optimisation option: Optimal Performance checked
(Performance checked)

I did not change anything in the advanced settings. I
created 2 partitions with diskpart. I named them C: and

E:

(because I am booting from the CD, which is using D.
When booting with the image, after final booting, the

EWF

partition is missing. I pasted the relevant section of

Original poster was Helmuth, and he said that he used diskpart to create two
partitions so unless someone know how to do this from Windows on removable
media then my best guess would be that he has CF that is marked as fixed.

Helmuth,

Do you have a small amount of raw, unpartitioned space available on the
disk (~8MB)? I do not get an error if I don't have it, but it still
doesn't work.

I missed the part about diskpart. I used DOS to fdisk the partitions.

Hi Slobodan.

I have it all sorted here.

But to answer your questions:
I have used the Sandisk utility to set the CF card to non-removable
under XPE.
I am using a single flash card with 1 OS partition, and one data partition.

My clients are writing a lot of data to a flash card, and the OS was
getting corrupted when running on a single partition. I have therefore
partitioned the disk into three parts (OS, data and EWF) as they have
requested.

I am also setting up an alternate that will use a RAM EWF for them (I
believe that is the better way for them to go, here).

Regards,

Greg Martin.

Hi Greg,

I didn't completely understand problem you have.
Do you have removable or fixed disk?
Do you want one or two protected partitions?

Helmuth,

Do you have a small amount of raw, unpartitioned space available on the
disk (~8MB)? I do not get an error if I don't have it, but it still
doesn't work.

I missed the part about diskpart. I used DOS to fdisk the partitions.

Greg.

Hi Kesavan,

Original poster was Helmuth, and he said that he used diskpart to create

two

partitions so unless someone know how to do this from Windows on

removable

media then my best guess would be that he has CF that is marked as

fixed.

Slobodan,

I faced this kinda strange errors before .I didnt plug myself into
finding out whether any updates done/notdone to the database would
have put up the same.
Changing the flash states solved the prob.I guess greg could provide
some info once he gets it checked.

Sounds to me like another case of the "removable vs non-removable" bit

in the compact flash card. I have the same problem with my current
system. I'm waiting for Sandisk tech support to send the application to
change the bit state before confirming, though.

I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certian that RAM or RAM-
Reg based EWF overlays will only support 1 protected
volume. If you need to support more than one volume, you
need to create a Disk based overaly. This will require
you to create an additional (3rd) partition to store the
overlay data.

Hi everybody!

I have a 1GB flash disk. Ultimately I would like to have

2



partitions (C: and D which are both protected by the
EWF. In the target designer I entered the following for
the EWF:

EWF Volume Configuration:

Maximum Number of Overlay levels: 1
EWF partition size in KBytes: 1024
Protected Volume # 1 (Volume # 2)
Start EWF enabled: not checked (not checked)

Disk Type: IDE (IDE)
Overlay Type: RAM (RAM)
Optimisation option: Optimal Performance checked
(Performance checked)

I did not change anything in the advanced settings. I
created 2 partitions with diskpart. I named them C: and

E:



(because I am booting from the CD, which is using D.

volume. If you need to support more than one volume, you
need to create a Disk based overaly. This will require
you to create an additional (3rd) partition to store the
overlay data.

Hi everybody!

I have a 1GB flash disk. Ultimately I would like to have

2




partitions (C: and D which are both protected by the
EWF. In the target designer I entered the following for
the EWF:

EWF Volume Configuration:
Maximum Number of Protected Volumes: 2
Maximum Number of Overlay levels: 1
EWF partition size in KBytes: 1024
Protected Volume # 1 (Volume # 2)
Start EWF enabled: not checked (not checked)
Enable Lazy write: not checked (not checked)
Disk Number: 0 (0)
Partition Number: 1 (2)
Disk Type: IDE (IDE)
Overlay Type: RAM (RAM)
Optimisation option: Optimal Performance checked
(Performance checked)

I did not change anything in the advanced settings. I
created 2 partitions with diskpart. I named them C: and

E:




(because I am booting from the CD, which is using D.
When booting with the image, after final booting, the

EWF




partition is missing. I pasted the relevant section of

Hallo everyone!

We have tried to install the same configuration on a
normal hard disk (2 partitions, both protected with 1 ewf
partition, in total 3 partitions). This is working
properly. So the problem seems to be the flash disk.

However, if we make a system with only 1 protected
partition and ewf partition, with the exact same flash
disk as above, the whole procedure does work.

It therefore seems, that the moveable or non moveable bit
does not play a role.

When we copy an SDI file from a different configuration
with 2 partitions and one ewf partition, to the CF, then
the system also seems to work (although disk specific data
might be incorrect, but there are 2 partitions and 1 ewf
partition.

So we still do not understand exactly what is happening.

Hi Helmuth,

Did you check to ensure that there was a small amount of unpartitioned
space on the CF?

Try creating the first partition for your OS, then install and run FBA.
Once FBA has finished, check to see if EWF is working. If so, create the
second partition in the remaining space on the CF.

Greg Martin.

Hi Greg!

We do have enough unpartitioned disk space left for the
creation etc. of the ewf partition.

When I use one partition with ewf, this works. Bust when I
run the system and then create a second partition, will
this also be protected by the ewf? Or will it be necessary
to specify the number of partions to be protected in the
target designer and to go through the fba again for two
protected partitions?

After several experiments the flash is working now with
two protected partitions, but we are not sure why this is
now working...

We will be configuring another one in the same way in the
next few days, perhapwe will find out something more.

Hi Slobodan.

I have it all sorted here.

But to answer your questions:
I have used the Sandisk utility to set the CF card to
non-removable

under XPE.
I am using a single flash card with 1 OS partition,

and

one data

partition.


My clients are writing a lot of data to a flash card,

and the OS was

getting corrupted when running on a single partition.

I

have therefore

partitioned the disk into three parts (OS, data and

EWF) as they have

requested.

I am also setting up an alternate that will use a RAM

EWF for them (I

believe that is the better way for them to go, here).

Do you have a small amount of raw, unpartitioned

you to create an additional (3rd) partition to

store the

overlay data.

Hi everybody!

I have a 1GB flash disk. Ultimately I would

like to have

2





partitions (C: and D which are both

protected

by the

EWF. In the target designer I entered the

following for

the EWF:

EWF Volume Configuration:
Maximum Number of Protected Volumes: 2
Maximum Number of Overlay levels: 1
EWF partition size in KBytes: 1024
Protected Volume # 1 (Volume # 2)
Start EWF enabled: not checked (not checked)
Enable Lazy write: not checked (not checked)
Disk Number: 0 (0)
Partition Number: 1 (2)
Disk Type: IDE (IDE)
Overlay Type: RAM (RAM)
Optimisation option: Optimal Performance checked
(Performance checked)

I did not change anything in the advanced

settings. I

created 2 partitions with diskpart. I named

them C: and

E:





(because I am booting from the CD, which is

using D.

When booting with the image, after final

booting, the

EWF





partition is missing. I pasted the relevant

section of

the





FBALOG.TXT below:

There seems to be an invalid file handle and

the EWF

partition is deleted again. How do I solve

this

problem?

The same happens when I use the above

configuration, but

with only one physical partition (C:, E: was
deleted).

When I perform the same procedure as above

with

only one

partition in the EWF (Maximum Number of
Protected

Volumes:





1) and created physically on the disk (only

C. The EWF

partition is created.

Your help is much appreciated!
Helmuth
