I have successfully used FFS on RAD: for several months now. (1.2 ROMs; No autoboot from RAD:, but it recovers rather well.) The mountlist entry I'm using is as follows: rad: Device = ramdrive.device FileSystem = L:FastFileSystem Unit = 1 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 1 BlocksPerTrack = 16 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 0 HighCyl = 19 Buffers = 4 GlobVec = -1 BufMemType = 3 DosType = 0x444F5301 StackSize = 4000 Mount = 1 # The startup-sequence begins with: failat 25 mount rad: This gives a 160K rad: disk, which recovers after all but the worst crashes. (It often even recovers after booting several other disks as well!) The speed of rad: under FFS doesn't seem significantly better than the old FS, and I don't have a hard drive, so I'll probably switch back to the old file system for rad: - it saves me the 12K for L:FastFileSystem from my system disk, which is chronically pressed for space...
