make_hdf
|
||
|
|
========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make_hdf is a command-line tool for creating unformatted hard disk
|
||
|
|
images (hard files) for E-UAE (and other versions of UAE). It will
|
||
|
|
also print a config option that can be added to a UAE config file to
|
||
|
|
mount the created disk image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make_hdf accepts the following parameters:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make_hdf <path> <size> [<device>]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<path> The path to the file to create. Note that any directories
|
||
|
|
included in this path must already exist; make_hdf will not
|
||
|
|
create them for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<size> The size of the hard disk image to create in MB. Add a trailing
|
||
|
|
'G' to the size to specify a size in GB or a 'K' for a size
|
||
|
|
in KB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<device> Device name to be included in the generated config option.
|
||
|
|
This is optional and defaults to DH0: if omitted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> make_hdf hdf/my_disk.hdf 2G DH5:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Will generate a 1 GB disk as the file 'hdf/my_disk.hdf' and the
|
||
|
|
following config options are output (see configuration.txt).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hardfile2=rw,DH5:hdf/my_disk.hdf,32,2,2,512,0,
|
||
|
|
hardfile=rw,32,2,2,512,hdf/my_disk.hdf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Limits
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On systems that do not support large files sizes (i.e, systems without
|
||
|
|
support for 64-bit file sizes), make_hdf is limited to creating hard
|
||
|
|
files up to 2GB in size.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On systems that do support large file sizes, make_hdf can create hard
|
||
|
|
files up to around 2TB in size (whether you can make use of disks that
|
||
|
|
in AmigaOS is another question).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sparse files
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where supported (e.g., Linux, MacOS X), make_hdf will create sparse
|
||
|
|
files. This allows hard disk images which are not full to take up less
|
||
|
|
space on disk.
