Lots of verbage in the comments. Using a 32 Gb card to create an image I get an image that will not load onto an identical 32 Gb card formatted with SDFormatter as directed on several websites. THe message says the image is too large to fit on the target SD card but that there does not appear to be aby data ad I get and option to go ahead anyway, I do nd the SD will not boot in my RPI. Why is this still a problem and what do I do to ise it? HO THE F$W% are you guys universally recommended to clone SD cards for RPI if the program doesn't work?

Disk Is Not Large Enough For The Specified Image Mac Os

You can optionally specify a '-size' parameter when you invoke hdiutil. If you specify a size large enough that the disk image doesn't need to be resized during .dmg creation, it seems you can avoid this error.

Just downloaded the latest version of Win32diskimager, installed it onto my system (Windows 10 64bit) and tried to copy/backup a working Raspberry Pi image on a 16GB SD card to a backup directory on my laptop which currently has bucketbloads of free space.
When I try to execute the program it reports, "Error: Disk not large enough for the specified image"

I'm having this same issue.
Just started out of no where, last week it worked perfectly. This week I'm getting this error.
Uninstalled win32diskimager from my PC. Rebooted, regcleaned/etc...
I can open the program. I select the source and the destinations. Give a file name and click Read. I then get this message.

Note, however, that the file that contains the previews, the [Catalog name] Previews.lrdata file can grow large if you have the option to delete previews set to Never or 30 days. This file is in the same the catalog file. If this option is set to Never, and you experience low hard disk issues, check the size of this file. Delete it if it's too large.

The default setting for when the large 1:1 previews are deleted is one week. The size of the preview file is reduced when these large previews are deleted, but the entire file isn't deleted unless you manually delete it. The file doesn't become huge unless you rarely or never delete the 1:1 previews, but whether it affects your hard disk depends on your available hard disk space. You can change how often the 1:1 previews are deleted by choosing Edit > Catalog Settings > File Handling (Windows) or Lightroom Classic > Catalog Settings > File Handling (Mac OS).

Note: Do not confuse the Previews.lrdata file discussed in this technote with the [Catalogname] Smart Previews.lrdata file, which contains all your Smart Previews. In cases where there is very limited hard disk space, you may need to delete this file, but if your hard disk space is low enough that you get low hard disk errors, you should empty your trash, archive some files, and/or reorganize your data so there's more open hard disk space.

If the option to Automatically Discard 1:1 Previews is set to Never or After 30 Days, your preview file can get very large. It can take up many GB of space. If your hard disk suddenly gets full, check the size of this file. You can then delete the file.

As you add, delete, and move files on a hard disk, its available space is no longer a single, contiguous block. If the system does not have enough contiguous space, it saves fragments of files to different locations on the hard drive. It takes Lightroom Classic longer to read or write a fragmented file than one saved to a contiguous location.

J = imrotate(I,angle) rotates image I by angle degrees in a counterclockwise direction around its center point. To rotate the image clockwise, specify a negative value for angle. imrotate makes the output image J large enough to contain the entire rotated image. By default, imrotate uses nearest neighbor interpolation, setting the values of pixels in J that are outside the rotated image to 0 for numeric and logical images and missing for categorical images.

Rotate the image 1 degree clockwise to bring it into better horizontal alignment. The example specified bilinear interpolation and requests that the result be cropped to be the same size as the original image.

Virt-make-fs is a command line tool for creating a filesystem from a tar archive or some files in a directory. It is similar to tools like mkisofs(1), genisoimage(1) and mksquashfs(1). Unlike those tools, it can create common filesystem types like ext2/3 or NTFS, which can be useful if you want to attach these filesystems to existing virtual machines (eg. to import large amounts of read-only data to a VM).

where input is either a directory containing files that you want to add, or a tar archive (either uncompressed tar or gzip-compressed tar); and output.img is a disk image. The input type is detected automatically. The output disk image defaults to a raw ext2 sparse image unless you specify extra flags (see "OPTIONS" below).

Adding a partition can make the disk image more compatible with certain virtualized operating systems which don't expect to see a filesystem directly located on a block device (Linux doesn't care and will happily handle both types).

On the other hand, if you have a partition table then the output image is no longer a straight filesystem. For example you cannot run fsck(8) directly on a partitioned disk image. (However libguestfs tools such as guestfish(1) and virt-resize(1) can still be used).

An alternative way to leave extra space but not make the output image any bigger is to use an alternative disk image format (instead of the default "raw" format). Using --format=qcow2 will use the native qemu/KVM qcow2 image format (check your hypervisor supports this before using it). This allows you to choose a large --size but the extra space won't actually be allocated in the image until you try to store something in it.

To choose a fixed size output disk, specify an absolute number followed by b/K/M/G/T/P/E to mean bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes, Petabytes or Exabytes. This must be large enough to contain all the input files, else you will get an error.

Ephemeral OS disks are created on the local virtual machine (VM) storage and not saved to the remote Azure Storage. Ephemeral OS disks work well for stateless workloads, where applications are tolerant of individual VM failures but are more affected by VM deployment time or reimaging of individual VM instances. With Ephemeral OS disk, you get lower read/write latency to the OS disk and faster VM reimage.

For example, if you want to opt for OS cache placement: Standard Windows Server images from the marketplace are about 127 GiB, which means that you need a VM size that has a cache equal to or larger than 127 GiB. The Standard_DS3_v2 has a cache size of 127 GiB, which is large enough. In this case, the Standard_DS3_v2 is the smallest size in the DSv2 series that you can use with this image.

For example, if you want to opt for Temp disk placement: Standard Ubuntu server image from marketplace is about 30 GiB. To enable Ephemeral OS disk on temp, the temp disk size must be equal to or larger than 30 GiB. Standard_B4ms has a temp size of 32 GiB, which can fit the 30 GiB OS disk. Upon creation of the VM, the temp disk space would be 2 GiB.

Basic Linux and Windows Server images in the Marketplace that are denoted by [smallsize] tend to be around 30 GiB and can use most of the available VM sizes.Ephemeral disks also require that the VM size supports Premium storage. The sizes usually (but not always) have an s in the name, like DSv2 and EsV3. For more information, see Azure VM sizes for details around which sizes support Premium storage.

For example, If you try to create a Trusted launch Ephemeral OS disk VM using OS image of size 56 GiB with VM size Standard_DS4_v2 using temp disk placement you would get an error as"OS disk of Ephemeral VM with size greater than 55 GB is not allowed for VM size Standard_DS4_v2 when the DiffDiskPlacement is ResourceDisk."This is because the temp storage for Standard_DS4_v2 is 56 GiB, and 1 GiB is reserved for VMGS when using trusted launch.For the same example above, if you create a standard Ephemeral OS disk VM you would not get any errors and it would be a successful operation.

Note: the recovery partition size needed to avoid this recreation is larger than what MSDN/Technet documents: if it has not enough free space, a new one is created with just the minimum needed (which grows over time, so each new image version adds its own new recovery partition before the previous one, formatted in NTFS, but left invisible and not mounted by default with a drive letter in the Windows Explorer). A new partition is even created when the previous recovery partition is still large enough to contain the new recovery bootloader Boot.sdi and WinRE image...

If your SSD is large enough (128GB or more) consider partitioning it and keep a 16GB partition unallocated: it will be a permanent reserve to preserve the SSD lifetime and limit the too frequent and slow trimming (lifetime of a SSD depends on the number of times a sector is trimmed; if a sector cannot be trimmed and fails, the unused sectors in the free pool will still work, you won't loose anything: SMART control can inform you about the number of unrecoverable/untrimmable sectors, you'll be informed when this number starts growing, long before it creates severe problems and it will be time to buy a new SSD for the system, and convert that SSD to a secondary storage (still stable and usable for a very long time mostly for read-only accesses, such as your collection of musics or videos).

Note that Windows itself already allocates a 16MB space called the "MSR" partition, which is not really a reserve, but seems to be used only transiently when performing management of partitions on a disk; it seems that its content is only used to contain a safe log allowing an operation to be rolled back without loosing the contents of other partitions being moved/resized or encrypted safely (with a possible rollback in case of failure, including a sudden power loss in the middle of a critical operation; what it contains transiently is authenticated with some magic values and digital signatures). If your disk is already partitioned and already encrypted, the content of the MSR can be cleared or the MSR even removed, Windows does not use it at all, Windows never mounts any supported filesystem on it: all operations are logged instead inside each partition formatted with their own logging support, or inside the disk manager for "Storage Spaces" and dynamic volumes: you can just keep the MSR as is, you can delete it and place it elsewhere on the disk, just make sure it is at least 16MB is size (Windows will eventually use it if needed, for example to resize the "Recovery" NTFS partition if it needs a larger "WinRE" for new maintenance tools, but some other security tools may need it to perform offline operations on the windows system partition); but for the rest of the time, this MSR partition remains unused (it has NO filesystem, it's just a linear storage space, left unused most of the time, and that can be counted in the reserve left for your SSD)
