Volume + Drive Definitions
Note: This list is comprised of all mounted volumes and any empty drives for
which information is available. If there is a SCSI board in a slot of the
machine, some additional information on the drive is available in the
Nubus/PDS category.
The Mount button allows you to mount all volumes which are off-line. It
depends upon the state of the drivers and if it does not work after two
or three clicks, you will probably have to reboot to get the volume
back on line. After each press of the button, the results will appear
above the button stating how many volumes were mounted and, if any
were mounted, inform you that the Volume/Drive List was updated
to reflect this change.
• Volume Name : Name of volume if one is present in drive. "Not in Queue"
means that the drive is not entered in the drive queue but that its driver
is entered in the Unit Table.
◊ Boot Volume = Was this Volume used to startup the machine?
◊ Port = Is the drive on an internal or external port? A floppy drive #1 and
a SCSI drive #0 are considered internal.
◊ Media = Does the drive use fixed or removable (e.g. a cartridge) media?
◊ Hierarchical = Is the volume organized in a hierarchical manner or is it flat
file. Flat file generally only applies to 400K floppies.
◊ Size = Capacity of volume or capacity of drive if no volume is mounted.
◊ Free = Free space on volume
◊ Last Initialized = Date and time volume was last initialized
◊ Last Backup = Date and time volume was last backed up. This may not be
accurate if for some reason the backup software used does not set this
information.
◊ Volume# = Volume number assigned to volume when mounted. Always a
negative number.
◊ Drive# = Drive number assigned to drive when it’s driver is assigned a
position in the device table and the drive is entered in the drive queue.
◊ SCSI# = The number set mechanically on the drive if it is a SCSI drive
◊ Volume has Boot Blocks = Is the volume capable of being a startup volume?
◊ Volume has System Directory = Does the volume support a system
directory? If not, you may not attempt a switch-launch to it.
◊ Volume is External File System = Was the volume created by a Non-Mac
operating system, e.g. DOS?
◊ Volume supports System 7 desktop functions = Does the volume
support the new desktop features such as aliasing, stationary, find file,
etc.?
◊ Local File Sharing is enabled = Yes/No
◊ Supports AFP Privilege functions = Does the volume support the AFP
(Appletalk Filing Protocol) that allows for application and file sharing?
◊ Volume supports File IDs = Does the volume support the System 7
procedure for tracking files? This helps developers keep track of files
used by their applications.
◊ Volume supports PBCatSearch = Does the volume support the System 7
method for searching a volume quickly, e.g. as used by Find File?
◊ Driver# = Number of the driver controlling the drive. Check Driver list.
◊ Driver Name = Name of the driver controlling the drive. Check Driver list.
