I have just implemented a XPE system on a Disk on Module
and pc104. I have noticed that the OS is growing for no
apparent reason. Has anyone else seen this and can anyone
help me please to stop this ?

Thanks

First you should use EWF to protect your DOM from unwanted writes.
There are probably some applications that are writing logs to disk.

You must locate them and configure them to stop writing to disk.

disable pagefile.
disable diskdefragmenter.

How do you disable them ?

Good question, and I don't know universal answer.

Well I don't use pagefile support, and it should be disabled by default.
You can find settings in:
- ACPI Multiprocessor PC component (or hal component you are using)
Settings: System Pagefile


For disk defragmenter I don't include Disk Defragmenter components since I
don't need them, probably you don't need them too.

Regarding the log file and reg change problem use regmon.exe and filemon.exe
to pinpoint programs and services that do writes.
And deal with each accordingly to your needs.

I have disabled almost all services and since my build is minlogon based I
don't have registry writes and disk writes (or at least this is what I
think, one can newer be 100% sure).
