Maybe this isn't much related to previous posts in this subject, but
the posted MountList for a hardisk reminded me some problems with
my own hackings..

I was looking for a good backup program for my 30M Supra HD and decided
to use MRBackup 2.4 (didn't care about the slowness). Because it uses standard
AmigaDOS disk format the usual 837k of OFS disks seemed so small, I made
a MountList for FF1: (same as DF1: but uses FastFileSystem).
Now everyting seemed to run well, but after backup I checked the contents
of one backupped file (type opt h file.Z) and found that it contained
only carbage :-(
So, what could went wrong ?
I suspect BufMemType, but what do all these numbers mean ? (Chip, Fast, All)
Are there some other types ??  E.g. in the posting that I followuppedthere
were a number 5 in this field :-?

Thanks for any help.

BTW, I got the same garbage results with Matts Backup.
