This is a read-only FST for the Minix v1 and v1L (linux extended) file system.
Minix (v1) is a simplified unix-type filesystem with 1k blocks/zones, 16-bit inodes (this implies 65535 maximum distinct files), and 16-bit file offsets (this implies a maximum volume size of 64MB). Filenames are limited to 14 characters (normal) or 30 characters (linux extended).
- Since minix doesn't support volume labels (I may extend the superblock to support them in the future), all disks are named "minix". This implies only 1 minix disk may be mounted at a time.
-
I haven't quite figured out the proper way to handle disk swapping (all FSTs seem to do it different). For now, it's probably best if you just avoid swapping disks while a file is open :).
-
ProDOS 16 versions of the calls haven't been extensively tested.
-
Double indirect blocks probably haven't been tested.
-
File types? We don't need no stinkin' file types.
- Finder windows display garbage for the FST name (should be fixed in GS.OS 6.0.4 :)
