Hello comp.sys.amiga.tech'ers,

Reading the thread about FastFileSystem a very old never answered question
sprang back in mind:
What do the several options (and assigned values) mean in the
different Mountlist entries?

For example in the DFx: entries you will see a line like:

	BufMemType = [number]

Where number stands for something like CHIP or FAST mem I think.

Who can explain to me what the following entries EXACTLY mean and
what values can be assigned. (And what those values mean of course...)

Reserved
Buffers
BufMemType
Mask
DosType (Don't remember the name exactly!)

Please replay by e-mail. I will post a summary if I get enough/complete
information.

Constructive RTFM's are also welcome if given with a Title (and Section
or Pagenumber).
