HOWTO mount very large Ext2/Ext3 partitions |
Q. I have a very large Ext2 partition (>150GB) on a disk. I can mount this partition in the Ext2FS Manager.
However, when I tried to browse this partition in Windows Explorer, I receive the error message:
"Insufficient system resources ...". How to solve this problem?
A.
SOLUTION (for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003):
1) Run REGEDIT
2) Open the following Registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
This Registry key controls memory management parameters.
3) Set the "PagedPoolSize" Registry value to the value of 0xFFFFFFFF.
4) In addition, check the following Registry values:
- "PagedPoolQuota" should be either 0 (default) or 0x80 (decimal 128, maximum value).
5) Close REGEDIT and reboot Windows in order to activate new system settings.
COMMENTS:
The error message is generated by Windows in case there are insuffisient resources in the System Memory Pool to supply
memory requests of the Ext2FS driver. Setting "NonPagedPoolSize" and "PagedPoolSize" to the value of 0xFFFFFFFF allows
Windows to use maximum memory for system needs.
hanges of mentioned Registry keys may slowdown system performance and/or memory-consuming applications.
