I wanted a way to generate some sort of parity for a very large directory consisting a mix of other directories and files with unicode. ICE ECC could do this but it always fails with that error message and google doesnt have any info about it. |

Usually it's mean "Not enough RAM". Try to decrease block size. |

Thats odd, I allowed the program to have up to 2gb (since I have 4gb total in a 32-bit OS), I will try your suggestion of reducing the block size. |

The block size by default is 1024 and gives that 0204 error. I cannot set the block size any lower then that because the program does not accept it. |

May be it's "Source block count" equal to 1024 ?
Check the field "Block size, even". This is value have to be reduced. |

Cant set the custom block size either. |

Why ? ICE ECC allow to enter custom size directly. |

All the settings in this picture will either give me that 0204 error or it will just not accept the values.
Default Values: 0204 Error

Reduced Source block to 512, will not accept values

Manually setting Block Size until both fields are no longer red: 0204 Error

You try to use block size equal 390MB!!! Block size has to be reduced.

You reduced not block size. You reduced source block count.

Again block size is not modified. |

|
|
trying to create a ecc file on a 31 GB data set.
Set maximum of memory possible (only 2 GB as the application is runing 32bits)
Cannot create ecc of more than 3% (or 1GB) as I get the 0204 error.
any 64bit version? what is the maximum data set / ecc size with 2GB of RAM?
Thanks |

Now ICE ECC require block size less than 20% of maximum memory.
You can create more than 3%, but check block size.
Planning to add solution allow to use any block size independently from maximum memory.

Not in near future. |

Is it possible for you to create a small utility that will scan the number of files, check your available RAM, and provided some recommended settings for ICE ECC that will actually work and not throw the 0204 error? This way we'll be able to figure out the optimal settings without a try-fail-try-fail approach.

0204 error generate when Windows can not allocated required memory block. It's impossible to predict when Windows can do it or when it fail. |

So then, something like "Error 0204 - block too large - trying smaller block.." so that the program automatically compensates. I've been trying very small blocksize values and I still get the error. I will try reducing the amount of memory to 50% as you recommended..

It's possible to use large than 50%. But it's hard to predict, what the percent is a allowed. |
