Easy question - mountlist for partition.

[ZeBeeDee]

AFAIK All the relevant information is written to the drive during the partitioning and formatting processes to keep prying eyes and typing fingers away.

They don't exist as a file on the HD so therefore you can't just create one in a text editor and expect it to become the norm. The values are assigned when you CREATE the partition and are written directly to the HD's Rigid Disk Block, not stored on the HD as a file.

The 'buffmemtype' option doesn't exist for HD's, only for add-on's like ZIP drives, CD-ROM's, etc.

One possible solution is to find a copy of FastMemFirst (WB 1.3 - System folder), drop a copy in your C: folder and see if by loading it directly after the SETPATCH command it helps any.

A word of caution though ... It might crash the system as it's not written for the A1200, it might not - Can't test as I have no WB1.3 here.

Are you using OS3.9?

No? then try my solution in my previous post

[ZeBeeDee]

From what I can gather then, the solution is already there.

Load up HDTools, look at the partitions and see if the buffers are set any higher than between 30-50 per partition. If the values differ then change them and save the new partition info out (you should not lose any data) and there you go, problem solved!

AFAIK ... As Far As I Know  :-)

Then the only 2 things I can suggest are as follows:

1) Try the Prefs in OS3.9 - See if you get any joy there
2) Contact Piru and/or Astral on how to achieve your final aim

YW for the explanation  :-)
