- Yes, there is a way to hide partitions so that the OS won't show them on the
- workbench.
- First you have to dismount the <volume:> you want to hide:
- Assign >NIL: <volume:> DISM0UNT
-
- then you have to assign the <volume:> to the <device:>:
- Assign >NIL: <volume:> <device:>
-
- I have the following 2 lines in my startup-sequence to hide the partition were
- all the news are kept, from the system:
- Assign >NIL: Msg_Base: DISM0UNT
- Assign >NIL: Msg_Base: DHB:
-
- To hide your virtual memory you have to use the hdtoolbox and set the filesystem
- of this partition to custom filesystem.
