The import of a Ghost 9 image fails because the disk requiements are not correct. The import log shows the source space as follows:
\[2006-03-22 10:13:18.381 'App' 5060 info] \[localImportSource,147] Source capacity=101014663680 Source space used=101014663680
\[2006-03-22 10:13:18.381 'App' 5060 info] \[localImportDestination,122] Available space=19731525632 Required space=101014663680
The source partition size in use is 13GB but the required space above is 101GB. I have 19GB available on the target drive so I should have plenty of space. Is this a bug or am I reading it wrong.
The beta does not check disk space correctly for Ghost images.
Does the image you are importing perhaps have a 101GB virtual disk, of which only 13GB is filled? If that were the case, this behavior would be expected.
I booted my system to a bootable partition that is 20GB in size. I then created a backup of the partition using Ghost 9. None of it is a virtual machine. My objective here is to create a virtual machine from a bootable partition.
Hmm.
What was the size of the physical disk that hosted the partition you ghosted?
The formatted size is 76.316 GB. It is an 80GB drive. The type is NTFS.
Has this issue been dropped. I never received a response to my previous post. Please advise on what I may provide to resolve the disk requirement issue.
We believe you are hitting a known issue regarding disk space checking for Ghost images that we will fix in the official release. Meanwhile can you try importing this image to a destination drive (preferably not on a network share) with a capacity greater than 20GB ?
