I also am interested in using the FFS with my Hard Disk (an SCSI Seagate ST299N
connected to the Bridgeboard). I have not been able to create a working
mountlist from the hints that Andy Finkel gave in his original posting.
Could one of the developers he mentioned please post here an example of a
hard disk partitioned between PC and Amiga side, and the corresponding
mountlist?
Thanks a lot

The "standard" DJMOUNT command doesn't need any mountlist entry. Also, I don't think the original DPFORMAT allows a FFS switch. At least none is documented in the original manual for the A2088.

Is it really possible to have FFS on a hard disk connected to
the BridgeBoard ?czs00@amdahl.uts.amdahl.com (Serenella Ciongoli) (10/24/88)

Then it went on suggesting what to put in the mountlist. He also very clearly stated that he had not personally tried the procedure, but had been told that it worked. Also, having defined the Amiga HD partitions this way, the user should be able to use the FFS with them. If an HD connected thru the Bridgeboard is mounted using DPMOUNT, it cannot be formatted/used with FFS. I tried to create a mountlist according to the original info (I can post the details of my configuration if someone asks me to), but, when issuing the mount command, it would not recognize my partition as an AmigaDOS unit. So again, CATS or whomever developed this procedure, could you please post a practical example on how to do it? I would like very much to use FFS with my AmigaDOS partitions.
