[Disksim-users] Re: Problem when running disksim in emulation mode

[Yinliang Yue]

Hi Sankaran,

The real data can't be written onto the emulation disks in disksim. I am not
sure whether this is the actual reason.

If you copy a linux source code to the emulated disk, I think you should
transform then into the trace format which can be accepted by disksim, such
as ascii format.
