Creating new image files
Empty image files can be created using operating system tools:
Windows: fsutil file createnew HD1.img 1073741824 (1 GB)
Linux: truncate -s 1G HD1.img
Mac OS X: mkfile -n 1g HD1.img
If you need to use image files larger than 4GB, you must use an
exFAT-formatted SD card, as the FAT32 filesystem does not support files
larger than 4,294,967,295 bytes (4GB-1 byte).
ZuluSCSI firmware can also create image files itself. To do this, create
a text file with filename such as Create 1024M HD40.txt. The special
filename must start with "Create" and be followed by file size and the
name of resulting image file. The file will be created next time the SD
card is inserted. The status LED will flash rapidly while image file
generation is in progress.
