TITLE :DBLSPACE.INI File Settings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
The following are valid settings for the DBLSPACE.INI file:
MaxRemovableDrives=
FirstDrive=
LastDrive=
MaxFileFragments=
ActivateDrive=
More Information:
MaxRemovableDrives=<number of drives>
-------------------------------------
This setting specifies the number of hard drive partitions available
to MS-DOS.
FirstDrive=<drive letter>
-------------------------
This setting specifies the lowest logical drive letter available for a
DoubleSpace host drive.
LastDrive=<drive letter>
------------------------
This setting specifies the highest logical drive letter available for
a DoubleSpace host drive.
Note: DoubleSpace loads host drives starting at LastDrive= and works
back to FirstDrive=.
MaxFileFragments=<nnnn>
-----------------------
MaxFileFragments is set to 2600 during installation of DoubleSpace.
After DoubleSpace is installed, each time the compressed volume file
(CVF) is changed (deleted, mounted, unmounted, resized), the
MaxFileFragments setting is changed to reflect the new number of file
fragments in all compressed volume files. The new number is a sum of
the file fragments in all CVF's plus 110.
For example, if the CVF on drive C has 6 fragments and the CVF on
drive D has 3 fragments, then maxfilefragments=119 (110+6+3). The new
value is used to allocate adequate memory the next time the CVF is
mounted. The changes in the DBLSPACE.INI file (with respect to
allocating memory) take effect after you restart your computer.
Note: The initial setting (2600) and the number added when a CVF is
changed (110) are both read from the DBLSPACE.INF file.
ActivateDrive=<drive letter, drive letter, last number of CVF>
--------------------------------------------------------------
This setting specifies three things:
- The first drive letter specifies which drive letter to use for the
host drive.
- The second drive letter specifies which drive to use for the
compress volume file (CVF).
- The third digit is the last number of the compress volume file
(DBLSPACE.00x). This digit indicates which DoubleSpace volume
should be mounted.
For example, "ActivateDrive=H,C0" indicates DoubleSpace was used to
compress drive C (using CIP), drive H is used for the host drive, and
the DoubleSpace file name is DBLSPACE.000.
