Making a Mount list for OS 3.9

[Robert17]

Morning Folks,

I need to make a Mountlist that will mount my  Hard Drive partitions. I'm using GVP Tekmagic Scsi device so it Cannot automount anything other than Fastfilesystem partitions.

So the plan is, I'm going to use a Buddha IDE controller with a Compact flash card to boot from, then I'd need a mountfile to mount the hard drive on the scsi controller

Just need to know how to make a mountlist and how to use it

Many Thanks

Robert

There are mountlist generators on Aminet. I have never used one, but I would imagine you feed it the device and unit and it works the rest out and creates the mountlist for you.

RDBMount looks like it could be another option. From the readme:

This  program  is  a  Mount wich read information from RigidDiskBlock of
harddisk  instade  of  mountlist.   This  allow  to not auto-mount all your
harddisk partition but only when you need it. (I personaly use this a lot).
   Since  info  are  taked from RDB and not from a mountlist, your are sure
that info are allways up-to-date ans there are no risk to corrupt your disk
by using wrong high/end/cyl value in a mountlist

Since you're using OS 3.9, I'd try it's inbuild late-mount option. You can define device, unit and partition to mount or just mount all found partitions. No need to create mountfiles, just add one line to devs:nsdpatch.cfg file. At least works for me with big partitions on internal ide, which can't be mounted in boot time yet...

Why not just make a 1Meg partiton in ffs pointing to the other partition?

Use gigledisk.
It works great.
I use it e.g. to mount/create mountfiles for Linux or USB Drives.
