2410.0. "UMast and Disk Partitions" by AKOV11::SMITH (Ed...) Thu Mar 30 1989 15:05

    I have a question for all the UMast users out their.               
    
    When I was running WB1.2 and the slow file system on my hard disk 
    UMast would display under each directory window the Disk and number 
    of free bytes left on the disk.  I have now upgraded to WB1.3 and 
    am running 2 partitions, DH0: - slow file system and HD0: - fast 
    file system.  It seems that UMast doen't understand that HD0: is a 
    disk so instead of showing the free disk space it shows the free 
    memory.  It still works correctly for DH0:  Since I running a 2090
    and 2 ST506 drives I don't believe I have the option of defining
    DH0 and DH1 since they are the defaults for the first partition.
    I never use DH0 or DH1 since they are the SFS and HD0 and HD1 are
    FFS.  I tried NEWZAPing UMast's "DH" references with no success.
    
    Has anyone else been able to work around this?  I use UMast a lot
    and really liked knowing how much disk space was left when copying
    things around.
    
    Thanx,

2410.1If FFS the problemAKOV11::SMITHEd...Wed Apr 05 1989 13:5810
    I guess no one else uses the free disk space display on UMast!
    
    Anyway just an update for anyone who might.  I originally thought
    UMast didn't like my HDx name so it displayed free memory, not knowing
    HDx was a disk.  So last nite I changed my mountlist and startup
    for HD1 to DH3.  Well, UMast still didn't like it and displayed
    free memory instead of disk space for DH3.  I now suspect it can't
    count free disk space on FFS.  Anyone else noticed this?

2410.2Umast is broken.MUMBLE::HEFFELPigs and PoniesThu Apr 06 1989 01:157
    Yes.  Umast 0.69 was released just shortly before 1.3 became widely
    available.  I find its two volume display so useful that I just
    sort of ignore the fact that it can't show me FFS free space.
    
    My partitions are named DH0: and DH1:.
