<h1>Overview of Amiga Filesystems<a class="headerlink" href="#overview-of-amiga-filesystems" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h1>
<p>Not all varieties of the Amiga filesystems are supported for reading and
writing. The Amiga currently knows six different filesystems:</p>
<table class="docutils align-default">
<tbody>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p>DOS0</p></td>
<td><p>The old or original filesystem, not really suited for
hard disks and normally not used on them, either.
Supported read/write.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p>DOS1</p></td>
<td><p>The original Fast File System. Supported read/write.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p>DOS2</p></td>
<td><p>The old “international” filesystem. International means that
a bug has been fixed so that accented (“international”) letters
in file names are case-insensitive, as they ought to be.
Supported read/write.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p>DOS3</p></td>
<td><p>The “international” Fast File System. Supported read/write.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p>DOS4</p></td>
<td><p>The original filesystem with directory cache. The directory
cache speeds up directory accesses on floppies considerably,
but slows down file creation/deletion. Doesn’t make much
sense on hard disks. Supported read only.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p>DOS5</p></td>
<td><p>The Fast File System with directory cache. Supported read only.</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>All of the above filesystems allow block sizes from 512 to 32K bytes.
Supported block sizes are: 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 bytes. Larger blocks
speed up almost everything at the expense of wasted disk space. The speed
gain above 4K seems not really worth the price, so you don’t lose too
much here, either.</p>
<p>The muFS (multi user File System) equivalents of the above file systems
are supported, too.</p>

<h2>Handling of the Users/Groups and protection flags<a class="headerlink" href="#handling-of-the-users-groups-and-protection-flags" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>Amiga -> Linux:</p>
<p>The Amiga protection flags RWEDRWEDHSPARWED are handled as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p>R maps to r for user, group and others. On directories, R implies x.</p></li>
<li><p>W maps to w.</p></li>
<li><p>E maps to x.</p></li>
<li><p>D is ignored.</p></li>
<li><p>H, S and P are always retained and ignored under Linux.</p></li>
<li><p>A is cleared when a file is written to.</p></li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>User id and group id will be used unless set[gu]id are given as mount
options. Since most of the Amiga file systems are single user systems
they will be owned by root. The root directory (the mount point) of the
Amiga filesystem will be owned by the user who actually mounts the
filesystem (the root directory doesn’t have uid/gid fields).</p>
<p>Linux -> Amiga:</p>
<p>The Linux rwxrwxrwx file mode is handled as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p>r permission will allow R for user, group and others.</p></li>
<li><p>w permission will allow W for user, group and others.</p></li>
<li><p>x permission of the user will allow E for plain files.</p></li>
<li><p>D will be allowed for user, group and others.</p></li>
<li><p>All other flags (suid, sgid, ...) are ignored and will
not be retained.</p></li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Newly created files and directories will get the user and group ID
of the current user and a mode according to the umask.</p>
</section>
<section id="symbolic-links">
<h2>Symbolic links<a class="headerlink" href="#symbolic-links" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>Although the Amiga and Linux file systems resemble each other, there
are some, not always subtle, differences. One of them becomes apparent
with symbolic links. While Linux has a file system with exactly one
root directory, the Amiga has a separate root directory for each
file system (for example, partition, floppy disk, ...). With the Amiga,
these entities are called “volumes”. They have symbolic names which
can be used to access them. Thus, symbolic links can point to a
different volume. AFFS turns the volume name into a directory name
and prepends the prefix path (see prefix option) to it.</p>
<p>Example:
You mount all your Amiga partitions under /amiga/<volume> (where
<volume> is the name of the volume), and you give the option
“prefix=/amiga/” when mounting all your AFFS partitions. (They
might be “User”, “WB” and “Graphics”, the mount points /amiga/User,
/amiga/WB and /amiga/Graphics). A symbolic link referring to
“User:sc/include/dos/dos.h” will be followed to
“/amiga/User/sc/include/dos/dos.h”.</p>

<h2>IMPORTANT NOTE<a class="headerlink" href="#important-note" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>If you boot Windows 95 (don’t know about 3.x, 98 and NT) while you
have an Amiga harddisk connected to your PC, it will overwrite
the bytes 0x00dc..0x00df of block 0 with garbage, thus invalidating
the Rigid Disk Block. Sheer luck has it that this is an unused
area of the RDB, so only the checksum doesn’t match anymore.
Linux will ignore this garbage and recognize the RDB anyway, but
before you connect that drive to your Amiga again, you must
restore or repair your RDB. So please do make a backup copy of it
before booting Windows!</p>
<p>If the damage is already done, the following should fix the RDB
(where <disk> is the device name).</p>
<p>DO AT YOUR OWN RISK:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>dd if=/dev/<disk> of=rdb.tmp count=1
cp rdb.tmp rdb.fixed
dd if=/dev/zero of=rdb.fixed bs=1 seek=220 count=4
dd if=rdb.fixed of=/dev/<disk>
</pre></div>
</div>
</section>
<section id="bugs-restrictions-caveats">
<h2>Bugs, Restrictions, Caveats<a class="headerlink" href="#bugs-restrictions-caveats" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>Quite a few things may not work as advertised. Not everything is
tested, though several hundred MB have been read and written using
this fs. For a most up-to-date list of bugs please consult
fs/affs/Changes.</p>
<p>By default, filenames are truncated to 30 characters without warning.
‘nofilenametruncate’ mount option can change that behavior.</p>
<p>Case is ignored by the affs in filename matching, but Linux shells
do care about the case. Example (with /wb being an affs mounted fs):</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>rm /wb/WRONGCASE
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>will remove /mnt/wrongcase, but:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>rm /wb/WR*
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>will not since the names are matched by the shell.</p>
<p>The block allocation is designed for hard disk partitions. If more
than 1 process writes to a (small) diskette, the blocks are allocated
in an ugly way (but the real AFFS doesn’t do much better). This
is also true when space gets tight.</p>
<p>You cannot execute programs on an OFS (Old File System), since the
program files cannot be memory mapped due to the 488 byte blocks.
For the same reason you cannot mount an image on such a filesystem
via the loopback device.</p>
<p>The bitmap valid flag in the root block may not be accurate when the
system crashes while an affs partition is mounted. There’s currently
no way to fix a garbled filesystem without an Amiga (disk validator)
or manually (who would do this?). Maybe later.</p>
<p>If you mount affs partitions on system startup, you may want to tell
fsck that the fs should not be checked (place a ‘0’ in the sixth field
of /etc/fstab).</p>
<p>It’s not possible to read floppy disks with a normal PC or workstation
due to an incompatibility with the Amiga floppy controller.</p>
