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,
...Ed

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?

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:.
