Need to split on NTFS?

Open rdp opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Seems bootiso splits large wim files, but if I'm formatting to NTFS it doesn't need to? Thanks.

Although it is true that NTFS would not be concerned with the 4GB file size restriction, NTFS is not part of the UEFI standard and thus booting in UEFI mode from such partition is hazardous. It is nonetheless true that some systems will support it regardless.

In any case, you can always choose to disable the WIM split behavior with --no-wimsplit flag. For all those reasons, I won't consider the actual behavior as a bug, but I am open to PRs to disable WIM splitting in non FAT32 FS types.
