Kriti; Unfortunately JClouds only supports block blobs larger than 64MB; not page blobs [1]. This is mostly because support for large blob types was initially written for managing large files like zip files; not the random-seek VHD files which have to be aligned to 512 byte boundaries[2].
The work required to get page blobs in place is not technically hard; but there may be a bit of work in making sure the JClouds API for azure blob remains clean. Personally I'd be pretty interested in this support; but my work does not have an immediate need for it. If you want to take a stab at it I would be more than willing to help out. Also; if you just need to copy vhds between storage accounts you can use the async copy API[3]. The only reason I mention this is that my company has many VHDs which largely stay within Azure; but we had the need to move them from storage account to storage account. You can do this with shared access keys[4]. -John [1] Block vrs Page Blobs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee691964.aspx [2] Blob API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee691975.aspx [3] Copy API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd894037.aspx [4] Shared Access Keys: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee395415.aspx On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 6:31 AM, Andrew Phillips <andr...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi Kriti > > Could you have a look at JCLOUDS-161 [1] and the related commits?
