Garfinkel, March 12, 2012 AFF: Setting maxsize with AFF files will have no effect, because AFF files are by definition not split. If you want a split AFF file, you must use AFD files (AFD is a directory with a .afd extension that holds multiple AFF files). AFM: The size of AFM split files is stored in af->maxsize (also ap->sr->maxsize). This value is determined by multiplying the AF_PAGESIZE (which defaults to AFF_DEFAULT_PAGESIZ, currently 1024*1024*16) by AF_PAGES_PER_RAW_IMAGE_FILE. By default, AF_PAGES_PER_RAW_IMAGE_FILE is not set. This means that, by default, AFM files are not split but consist of a single raw file and a single AFM file (which holds the metadata for the raw file). You can set AF_PAGES_PER_RAW image like this: int64_t pages_per_file = 128; af_update_segq (af, AF_PAGES_PER_RAW_IMAGE_FILE, pages_per_file); AFM files that are created by aimage do have this value set, however: it is set to 2^31.
