Short: Unofficial "Mount" command backport for AmigaOS Author: sonic_amiga@rambler.ru (Pavel Fedin), Harry 'Piru' Sintonen, AROS Uploader: polluks sdf lonestar org (Stefan Haubenthal) Type: util/cli Version: 50.11 Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is *UNOFFICIAL* update for "Mount" command for MorphOS. This version tries to fix the following bugs which are present in original Mount utility in MorphOS (latest MorphOS version at the moment of writing this document is 1.4.5): 1. There can be two types of mountfiles (files which actually describe devices). One of them (newer one) uses dedicated fields for every handler parameter (Like "Device", "Unit", etc). The second is old-style, using "Startup" field to specify parameters for the handler. The problem appears when "Mount" is invoked with a mask and meets both types of mountfiles. In this case system crash or hangup is possible. This is possible, for example, if you have both types of mountfiles in DEVS:DOSDrivers directory. 2. If mountfile does not end with a newline, on some systems Mount refused to read it. 3. Original Mount forbids using any GlobVec except -1. But there is also -2 value which is also valid for handlers written in C. This version supports it too. An example of handler using GlobVec=-2 is network filesystem from Envoy package. 4. String but not number is a valid value for "Unit" field in AmigaOS, but this was not supported in original Mount for MorphOS. This is also necessary for Envoy. 5. All values which can be numeric now can be signed, this is now detected properly. Original Mount allowed using only unsigned numbers for Flags and Startup fields, signed numbers were misinterpreted as strings. 6. AmigaOS 3.x Mount capitalized all device names, MorphOS Mount didn't. In this version it is fixed.
