Filesystems supported by ADFS
2+
-----------------------------
3+
4+
The ADFS module supports the following Filecore formats which have:
5+
6+
- new maps
7+
- new directories or big directories
8+
9+
In terms of the named formats, this means we support:
10+
11+
- E and E+, with or without boot block
12+
- F and F+
13+
14+
We fully support reading files from these filesystems, and writing to
15+
existing files within their existing allocation. Essentially, we do
16+
not support changing any of the filesystem metadata.
17+
18+
This is intended to support loopback mounted Linux native filesystems
19+
on a RISC OS Filecore filesystem, but will allow the data within files
20+
to be changed.
21+
22+
If write support (ADFS_FS_RW) is configured, we allow rudimentary
23+
directory updates, specifically updating the access mode and timestamp.
