You may + wish that either read bits give read access to the file for all, but + keep the default write protection (ownmask=0755,othmask=0577): + + -rw-r--r-- + + You can therefore tailor the permission translation to whatever you + desire the permissions should be under Linux. + +RISC OS file type suffix +------------------------ + + RISC OS file types are stored in bits 19..8 of the file load address. + + To enable non-RISC OS systems to be used to store files without losing + file type information, a file naming convention was devised (initially + for use with NFS) such that a hexadecimal suffix of the form ,xyz + denoted the file type: e.g. BasicFile,ffb is a BASIC (0xffb) file. This + naming convention is now also used by RISC OS emulators such as RPCEmu. + + Mounting an ADFS disc with option ftsuffix=1 will cause appropriate file + type suffixes to be appended to file names read from a directory. If the + ftsuffix option is zero or omitted, no file type suffixes will be added. -- cgit v1.2.3
