short description:
==================
1. select a drive
2. all non supported options are disabled
3. General options:
VFAT
- enable/disable VFAT extension on this drive
- supported from NEWFATFS
MagiC sym-links
- enable/disable MagiC style symlinks on this drive;
- WinNT doesn't like MagiC style symlinks for example,
that's why exist this option
- supported from NEWFATFS
Write-Back Cache
- enable/disable Write-Back mode on this drive
Write-Back means that write access is buffered; this will
extremly speedup a lot of operations
It's not recommended to disable this option on MinixFS
- always safe (also if operations are performed at the moment
on this drive)
- supported from MinixFS and NEWFATFS
4. Name mode:
- supported from NEWFATFS
- only available for if VFAT extension is disabled
- restrict allowed characters for new file names
- GEMDOS - all GEMDOS characters, default
- ISO - characters after ISO (characters, digits, underscore)
- MSDOS - all MSDOS chracters are allowed
5. FAT32:
- supported from NEWFATFS
- only available on FAT32 partitions
- FAT Mirroring enable/disable FAT Mirroring
that means all FAT or only the specified FAT is updated
if you disable FAT Mirroring, you must first specify the active
FAT, active FAT can be 1 to 'Number of FATs'
6. Info:
- print some information about this drive and the description
of the filesystem running
7. Change - apply the actual settings
Quit - leave this dialog without any change
Change + Quit - set actual settings and leave dialog
Have fun.
If there is any question ask me or Christian Felsch.
