Descr: BFFSFilesystem allows you to mount (and use) Unix filesystems directly under AmigaDOS. Allows writing to 4.2ufs-partitions, will nuke 4.4ufs-partitions! Keywords: AmigaOS filesystem read Short: Berkeley Fast Filesystem 1.3 (Read-Write) Type: misc/emu Uploader: cdh@mtu.edu Author: cdh@mtu.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.3 of BFFS (Read-Write) Distribution is 2-Feb-94 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Berkeley Fast Filesystem AmigaDOS, Copyright 1991-1994 Chris Hooper BFFSFilesystem allows you to mount (and use) Unix filesystems directly under AmigaDOS. Function in the operating system is similar in form to MessyDos (©) by Olaf Seibert or a CD-ROM filesystem for the Amiga. This is the first read-write version of the filesystem. And, although I have done a fair amount of testing, you should not consider this package stable or otherwise bug-free. The original package (1.0 release) was co-authored by Bill Moore and Chris Hooper. Bill Moore has since acquired other projects, so this product will be maintained and supported entirely by Chris Hooper. Compatibility This package has been tested (working) with: hardware: Amiga 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 software: OS 2.04 and softkicked OS 2.04 I see no reason why it should not work with any other Amiga hardware or OS configuration. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BFFS PACKAGE DISTRIBUTED FILES doc/legal_information Please read this first. By using this product you automatically agree to all terms and conditions stated in the above file. BFFSFileSystem - Berkeley FFS implementation filesystem for AmigaDOS This is the first release of the Read-Write version of the filesystem. Since it is the first release, the possibility of grave data corruption exists for filesystems with parameters which have not been tested. Please see the program documentation for situations which have been tested. MountList.BFFS - Sample AmigaDOS mountlist for filesystem The information contained in this MountList is explained in detail in the user manual. bin/BFFSTool - Amiga gadtools utility to monitor filesystem performance and modify current operating parameters. See the user manual for operating instructions. bin/dumpfs - Show various Berkeley Fast Filesystem parameters; this includes information in the disk label (if present) as well as the superblock and cylinder group summary information. This tool requires the filesystem already be mounted. bin/dcp - Copy from files to devices and visa versa. See the separate documentation included for this package for details. bin/ln - Create hard and soft links (usage is similar to UNIX ln command) bin/chown - Change file Ownership (per AmigaDOS 3.0 packet) bin/mknod - Create Unix special device nodes bin/rdb - Show/modify the RDB (Rigid Disk Block) area of an Amiga disk bin/els - Quick and dirty directory lister showing extended AmigaDOS 3.0 permissions and file owner/group. bin/newfs - 4.3 BSD Tahoe source ported to the Amiga. This program will create a new BSD filesystem within the bounds of the specified partition. This tool requires the filesystem already be mounted. A diskchange should be done on the partition following the new filesystem creation. bin/fsck - 4.3 BSD Tahoe source ported to the Amiga This program will check the consistency of the filesystem specified. It will also NOT work correctly with SunOS 4.1.2 newfs'ed partitions, as Sun has changed its cylinder summary information slightly. The filesystem MUST be quiescent before starting fsck. If the filesystem is modified, you must perform a diskchange on the partition to ensure continued data consistency. bin/diskpart - 4.3 BSD Tahoe source ported to the Amiga This program allows you to create and/or edit the disk boot label information stored in the first sector of the disk (Amiga disk partition). When creating a new disk label, if you do not specify the partition type, one will automatically be created for you specifying parameters which fit inside the the AmigaDOS partition. doc/user_manual - Documentation on how to get started and maintain your BSD filesystems under AmigaDOS. doc/release_notes.BFFS - Filesystem operation (code) changes since previous releases of the BFFS package. doc/BFFSTool.doc - documentation for BFFSTool doc/dcp.doc - documentation for dcp doc/legal_information.dcp - legal information pertaining to dcp doc/dumpfs.doc - documentation for dumpfs doc/ln.doc - documentation for ln doc/chown.doc - documentation for chown doc/mknod.doc - documentation for mknod doc/rdb.doc - documentation for rdb doc/els.doc - documentation for els etc/disktab - predefined disktypes for disklabel (not absolutely needed) etc/Raw_Sun_Floppy_label - if you want to put a Sun label on a floppy so that a Sun can use it, you need to format the floppy, newfs the floppy, then dcp Raw_Sun_Floppy_label BF0: If BF0: is the name of your BFFS floppy device. etc/HD_Raw_Sun_Floppy_label - This is the 1.44MB version of the Sun floppy label (for high density floppy drives) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This package was written by Chris Hooper (cdh@mtu.edu) -----------------------------------------------------------------------
