Hi All! As part of project pedigree I've been working on an image manipulation program called disktools, designed for easy use with scripts. Its highly portable, requiring only a small subset of standard C and file IO.

Ex output:



At the moment, it supports FAT12/16/32 and SFS (making it the first non-windows SFS tool :s) and I plan on releasing the source to the public domain when completed. I am actively trying to add new formats, but there are (as most OS Devs will know ) a great many out there. My current task is ext2 which is coming along nicely.

What I'm asking for is disk images containing at least 2 directory entries, a few random files, any special type supported by the filesystem. Mainly, I'm looking for, in order of priority:

• ext2/3 small HD images with and without partitions.
• anything you can think of

this looks really neat.. will it support things like managing the disk(moving and creating files within the disk) and copying files from the host to the disk?

Also, I'd love to see FFS support..

That was the entire point of it Its being made so pedigree has a cross-platform way of working with disk images without requiring a loopback device (which needs root) or hdiutils (which is just a pain in the F* @$$ to script)

That would be very handy for say building nightly floppy images or such on a host you don't have root access to..
