TOS-FS
------
(default filesystem, map all calls to the underlying GEMDOS)

- same restrictions as the underlying GEMDOS


NEWFATFS
--------
(completly new written FAT filesystemdriver, support FAT/VFAT/FAT32;
TOS, DOS and Windows compatible)

maximum partition size
                 FAT16 : 2 GB               tested:  2 GB
                 FAT32 : > 16 TB            tested: 10 GB
maximum file size      : 2 GB               tested:  2 GB
block size             : 512 byte - 32 kb   tested: 512 byte - 32 kb

physical blocksize must be smaller or
equal to logical blocksize                : yes

tested with physical blocksize > 512 byte : not yet tested


MinixFS
-------
(Unix filesystem; Minix compatible)

maximum partition size : 2 GB               tested:  2 GB
maximum file size      : 2 GB               tested:  1 GB
block size             : 1 kb               tested:  1 kb

physical blocksize must be smaller or
equal to logical blocksize                : yes

tested with physical blocksize > 512 byte : not supported


Ext2FS
------
(Unix Filesystem; Linux ext2 compatible)

maximum partition size : > 16 TB            tested: 10 GB
maximum file size      : 2 GB               tested:  2 GB
block size             : 1, 2, 4 kb         tested: 1, 2, 4 kb

physical blocksize must be smaller or
equal to logical blocksize                : yes

tested with physical blocksize > 512 byte : not yet tested
