Questions on different File Systems.

[sim085]

Hi,

I was trying to install a software (MultiUser from aminet) that patches the FastFileSystem in L: however when I entered in L: I found out that I do not have this but rather the CrossDOSFileSystem!

So my questions are these; Which one is the latter (I have workbench 3.1)? and (if needed) how can this be changed?

Regards,

You could probably use the RomSplit tool from Doobreynet to grab your ROM, separate the FastFileSystem module, apply the multiuser patch, then stick it in your L: drawer

So if FastFileSystem is in L: then Workbench will use that one rather then the one in the ROM? (ROM means Kickstart right?)

what is RDB? (soory, so many questions pop to mind!) How do I change the version I have in RDB with the new one?

[sim085]

Use HDToolBox or HDInstTool, and select the filesystem from wherever your patched version is located (normal place to put them is L: drawer).

The problem is that I do not have this file in L: I can use Doobreynet to get the version I have from ROM - however can't I download the latest version of this from somewhere, patch it, and then use HDToolBox to update RDB with this one?

Dunno - what versions do the multiuser patches support? the multiuser archive on aminet looks fairly old.

It supports the FastFileSystem versions released on all versions of Workbench from 2.04 upto 3.1 - I checked the install disk of Workbench 3.1 and I found it there under L: So I am gona use this one
