Bob: Thanks for the info. OK, the OFS offers better recovery in the event
of a disk error/failure, in exchange for less disk space and slower access.
However, since my main data is on the hard disk, and I use floppies for
backup, I might be inclined to forgo the extra security.
Is there a way to get the floppies formatted via the workbench in FFS, or
would I have to do it from the shell all the time (or write a script to do
the job)? I would think some modification to the mountlist in DEVS would
work, but I haven't found anything in the mountlist that refers to disk
drives other than a ramdisk.
Thanks again!
