Short:        Unofficial patch for the 45.13 FastFileSystem (3.9 BB2)
Author:       Etienne Vogt (Etienne.Vogt@obspm.fr)
Type:         util/misc
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

 The FastFileSystem shipped in OS 3.9 BB2 (V45.13) has a bug in the disk
validator code. A memory buffer that is allocated for the validation is
later freed with a wrong smaller size, causing a memory leak as well as
a mismatched FreeMem() report from debugging tools like MuGuardianAngel
and MungWall.
 As an official fix for this is now quite unlikely to appear, I decided
to release the patch I made myself a few months ago.

 THIS PATCH IS COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL. IT HAS NOT BE APPROVED BY AMIGA INC.
OR BY HAAGE & PARTNER. BY USING IT ON YOUR SYSTEM, YOU ACCEPT THE ENTIRE
RISK AS TO ITS QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE.
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DISKS BEFORE TRYING TO INSTALL THE PATCHED FFS ON YOUR
AMIGA !!!

 Only this archive may be freely redistributed. The patched FastFileSystem
generated by it contains code from the AmigaOS 3.9 FastFileSystem and is thus
subject to the same restrictions than the original.

 The first released archive of this patch had a incorrect patch file included
which will not work. If you downloaded it before February 6th, please get the
new one.

Installation
------------

 You must have the 45.13 FastFileSystem from OS3.9 BB2 in your L: directory.
First rename the 45.13 FastFileSystem to FastFileSystem.old, then, create the
45.14 FastFileSystem with the spatch command and the FastFileSystem4514.pch
patch file included in this archive:

spatch -pFastFileSystem4514.pch -oL:FastFileSystem L:FastFileSystem.old

 Finally, use your favourite harddisk installation tool (HDToolBox from OS3.9
for example) to install the new FastFileSystem into your harddisk's rdb area.

 If you want this patched FFS to be also used for floppy drives, you need to
make it resident using Thomas Richter's LoadModule command, available on
Aminet as util/boot/LoadModule.lha. You also need to modify the SetPatch
command in your Startup-Sequence to skip loading the 45.13 FFS from the ROM
Update file by adding SKIPROMMODULES "filesystem" to the SetPatch command.
