Potential Pitfalls
Unlike most commercial RAM disks, EWF cannot reclaim the RAM after files have been deleted from it. In EWF RAM mode the memory consumed only ever increases. Eventually the system will have no more free space and will crash. The crash will involve the gradual disabling of processes and often begins with the inability to open a new explorer window. For this reason it is important to keep an eye on the memory in use, typing "ewfmgr c:" where c: is the protected volume will give you the amount of RAM currently consumed.

Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or pitfalls:
“Children are potentially free and their life directly embodies nothing save potential freedom. Consequently they are not things and cannot be the property either of their parents or others.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Because relationships are a primary source of self-esteem for girls and women, daughters need to know they will not lose our love if they speak up for what they want to tell us how they feel about things. . . . Teaching girls to make specific requests, rather than being indirect and agreeable, will help them avoid the pitfalls of having to be manipulative and calculating to get what they want.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
