Processing Unallocated space/Orphan files

[mattj7]

Hi, I am trying to process/index a disk image, for the purposes of searching for key words. When loading the data in, I noticed that it was taking a LONG time (days) to add Orphan files. I thought this was because Autopsy was processing unallocated space, so I restarted the adding of source data, and this time I unchecked "process unallocated space"

Despite this, it still says "Status: Adding: $OprhanFiles/..."

I am not interested in adding the Orphan files, and this process has taken a week now. How can I stop it from adding these Orphan Files to the case data?

I'm sure you've gotten past this point by now. I'm still curious about it if you'd care to share some information:

What was the size of the disk image? Was it compressed?
How was I/O handled? i.e. USB, eSATA, Firewire, etc. What are the destination specs? i.e. disk(s) size/type, processor, RAM
How many ingest modules did you run actually at ingest? What were they?
How long did it finally take or how long did it run before you abandoned it?
