Invalid argument passed trying to extract an EXT4 image

[blackeangel]

All times I get error under Windows 10:

e2fstool 1.0.0 (30-Mar-2023)

Opening image file: 

e2fstool: Invalid argument while opening file (./system.img), try to increase your page/swap file.

run this:

e2fstool.exe -c "./config_dir" "./system.img" "./system"

Sorry for late response, but you should pass -e param for non-sparse images.

that is, the command for unpacking should be

e2fstool.exe -e -c "./config_dir" "./system.img" "./system"

?????

Please write a detailed user manual for working with your utility.

yes, did that solve your issue? I'm planning to add automatic image format selection so that you don't have to worry about which params to pass.

No, I didn't try to add the parameter until it was possible.

It would be great!

I'll wait for the update then!

Till then, e2fstool.exe -ec "./config_dir" "./system.img" "./system" will extract raw ext4 system.img.
