To launch the utility on Linux OS, run the following command: ngprun start_app vfs_tools + arguments. To open the argument list, run the vfs_tools --help command. |
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) |
| --fill | Populating an archive with multiple copies of video footage from another archive. The system fills up a destination archive with multiple copies of a source archive; for easier timeline handling, each new copy is written with 1 minute offset. For example: vfs_format.exe --volume S:\FILEONE.afs --fill G:\ |
| --cache-to-memory | Copying an archive to RAM and further copying to a destination archive. Use with the --fill parameter. This parameter is valid only for archives that could fit to RAM. For instance, vfs_format.exe --volume S:\FILEONE.afs --fill G:\ --cache-to-memory |
| --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 |
| --build-meta | Launch the process of metadata generation for an archive volume (including timeline markers and video footage size per channel). For example, vfs-format.exe --volume D:\ --build-meta Important! Processing large archives may take significant amounts of time. |
| --clear-meta | Deleting metadata of archive volume. For example, vfs-format.exe --volume D:\ --clear-meta |
| --log-level | Sets the logging level for this action. Available values:
|
...
For example: vfs_format.exe --volume S:\FILEONE.afs --fill G:\ --log-level=100 > S:\log.txt.
