Hi,
Atari GEMDOS and Atari partition programs always use 2 sectors per
cluster. Since FAT16 can hold max 32k entries you can compute the rest
of information from this (example: 63 MB partition needs 2 kB clusters
to fit into 32k cluster limit so the logical sector size for 32-63 MB
partition needs to be 1 kB).
There's something wrong with the Atari FAT option code then - this is what I get
with atari=yes on the first of your partitions (128MB?):
FAT (before atari): FAT bits 0 clusters 32622 sectors 65280
FAT (option atari): FAT bits 12 clusters 32622 sectors 65280
FAT (after atari): FAT bits 12 clusters 32622 sectors 65280
The GEMDOS option code picks a 12 bit FAT even though it should clearly fit into
a 16 bit FAT.
With atari=no:
FAT (before atari): FAT bits 0 clusters 32622 sectors 65280
FAT (after atari): FAT bits 16 clusters 32622 sectors 65280
The larger two partitions exceed the logial sector size of 4k.
Yup - did AHDI use particular values for logical sector size and sectors per
cluster that we'd need to make sure will still work?
See above - 2 logical sectors in a cluster. That is actually the only
difference from MS-DOS where they stick with fixed logical sector size
and are adding more sectors to a cluster, IIRC.
Thanks, that'll help me to find a fix for this patch.
