vfs_format.exe is a console utility for working with C-Werk archives.
The utility is located in < C-Werk installation folder > \bin>.
Attention!
C-Werk should not use the archive while the utility is running.
The utility contains the following options:
Parameter | Description |
| --help | Help window |
| --volume | Archive path. The basic parameter must always be present in the query. For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs" (for the archive volume as a file) or vfs_format.exe --volume D:\ (for the archive volume as a disk) |
| --dump | Collect service information about the archive volume in a TXT or XML file. For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs" --dump "C:\DumpArc.txt" |
| --expand | Specify the new size of the archive volume in sectors. By default, the size of one sector is 4MB, if the -format parameter was not applied. This option is relevant only for the archive volume as a file. For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs" --expand 128 |
--size | Specify the new size of the archive volume in megabytes. This option is relevant only for the archive volume as a file. For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs" --size 4096 |
| --format | Split the volume of the archive into sectors of the specified size (in megabytes). For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs" --format 16 |
| --copy | Copying archive volumes. Specify the path and name of the new archive file. If the archive volume is copied as a disk, create a partition, large enough. If you have a smaller partition, then only the most recent entries are copied. For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs" --copy "C:\NewArc.afs" |
| --skip-bad-block | Skip the bad sectors when copying the archive volume. This parameter is used only together with --copy . For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAliceBlue.afs" --copy "C:\NewArc.afs" --skip-bad-block |
| --modify-corrupted-flag | Enable / disable re-indexing of the archive volume. 1 - enable reindexing, 0 - disable. For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAliceBlue.afs" --modify-corrupted-flag 1 |
To log error messages, you must add a path for the log file at the end of each query.
For example: vfs_format.exe --volume "D:\archiveAntiqueWhite.afs" --copy "C:\NewNewArc.afs" "C:\Log.txt"
