- Version 1.3 of BFFS (Read-Write) Distribution is 2-Feb-94
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Berkeley Fast Filesystem AmigaDOS, Copyright 1991-1994 Chris Hooper
-
- BFFSFilesystem allows you to mount (and use) Unix filesystems directly
- under AmigaDOS. Function in the operating system is similar in form to
- MessyDos (©) by Olaf Seibert or a CD-ROM filesystem for the Amiga.
-
- This is the first read-write version of the filesystem. And, although
- I have done a fair amount of testing, you should not consider this
- package stable or otherwise bug-free.
-
- The original package (1.0 release) was co-authored by Bill Moore and
- Chris Hooper. Bill Moore has since acquired other projects, so this
- product will be maintained and supported entirely by Chris Hooper.
-
- Compatibility
- This package has been tested (working) with:
- hardware: Amiga 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000
- software: OS 2.04 and softkicked OS 2.04
-
- I see no reason why it should not work with any other Amiga hardware
- or OS configuration.

- BFFS PACKAGE DISTRIBUTED FILES
-
- doc/legal_information
- Please read this first. By using this product you automatically
- agree to all terms and conditions stated in the above file.
-
- BFFSFileSystem - Berkeley FFS implementation filesystem for AmigaDOS
- This is the first release of the Read-Write version of the
- filesystem. Since it is the first release, the possibility
- of grave data corruption exists for filesystems with parameters
- which have not been tested. Please see the program documentation
- for situations which have been tested.
-
- MountList.BFFS - Sample AmigaDOS mountlist for filesystem
- The information contained in this MountList is explained in
- detail in the user manual.
-
- bin/BFFSTool - Amiga gadtools utility to monitor filesystem performance
- and modify current operating parameters. See the user manual
- for operating instructions.
-
- bin/dumpfs - Show various Berkeley Fast Filesystem parameters; this
- includes information in the disk label (if present) as well
- as the superblock and cylinder group summary information.
- This tool requires the filesystem already be mounted.
-
- bin/dcp - Copy from files to devices and visa versa. See the separate
- documentation included for this package for details.
-
- bin/ln - Create hard and soft links (usage is similar to UNIX ln command)
-
- bin/chown - Change file Ownership (per AmigaDOS 3.0 packet)
-
- bin/mknod - Create Unix special device nodes
-
- bin/rdb - Show/modify the RDB (Rigid Disk Block) area of an Amiga disk
-
- bin/els - Quick and dirty directory lister showing extended AmigaDOS 3.0
- permissions and file owner/group.
-
- bin/newfs - 4.3 BSD Tahoe source ported to the Amiga.
- This program will create a new BSD filesystem within the bounds of
- the specified partition. This tool requires the filesystem already
- be mounted. A diskchange should be done on the partition following
- the new filesystem creation.
-
- bin/fsck - 4.3 BSD Tahoe source ported to the Amiga
- This program will check the consistency of the filesystem specified.
- It will also NOT work correctly with SunOS 4.1.2 newfs'ed partitions,
- as Sun has changed its cylinder summary information slightly.
- The filesystem MUST be quiescent before starting fsck. If the
- filesystem is modified, you must perform a diskchange on the
- partition to ensure continued data consistency.
-
- bin/diskpart - 4.3 BSD Tahoe source ported to the Amiga
- This program allows you to create and/or edit the disk boot
- label information stored in the first sector of the disk
- (Amiga disk partition). When creating a new disk label, if
- you do not specify the partition type, one will automatically
- be created for you specifying parameters which fit inside the
- the AmigaDOS partition.
-
- doc/user_manual - Documentation on how to get started and maintain
- your BSD filesystems under AmigaDOS.
-
- doc/release_notes.BFFS - Filesystem operation (code) changes since
- previous releases of the BFFS package.
-
- doc/BFFSTool.doc - documentation for BFFSTool
-
- doc/dcp.doc - documentation for dcp
-
- doc/legal_information.dcp - legal information pertaining to dcp
-
- doc/dumpfs.doc - documentation for dumpfs
-
- doc/ln.doc - documentation for ln
-
- doc/chown.doc - documentation for chown
-
- doc/mknod.doc - documentation for mknod
-
- doc/rdb.doc - documentation for rdb
-
- doc/els.doc - documentation for els
-
- etc/disktab - predefined disktypes for disklabel (not absolutely needed)
-
- etc/Raw_Sun_Floppy_label - if you want to put a Sun label on a floppy
- so that a Sun can use it, you need to format
- the floppy, newfs the floppy, then
- dcp Raw_Sun_Floppy_label BF0:
- If BF0: is the name of your BFFS floppy device.
-
- etc/HD_Raw_Sun_Floppy_label - This is the 1.44MB version of the Sun floppy
- label (for high density floppy drives)
