Description Stephano Cetola 2017-03-31 18:26:58 UTC
Often, a user will want to gather a set of artifacts (filesystems, binaries, etc) and place those at different locations in a disk image. Obviously these offsets would be needed, as would the locations of the artifacts.

Hi Stephano,

If you want place some stuff to a specific offset of a disk image, I think you can use '--fixed-size' parameter to create a partition at that offset. For writing a binary to a partition, you can use the 'rawcopy' source plugins.

Don't get any response from Stephano for a long time, I assume that this issue has been resolved. So close this issue.
