Its been a while i got that one;
-how come bionicpup64 (and almost* all other) on uefi/lick/ntfs/frugal do not have the savefolder option?

*fatdog64 got that option ?

Anyone else using uefi/lick/ntfs/frugal ? a reason for it?

Jamebond secret service?

Don't know if anyone mentioned this.

When e.g. there's a rox filer window opened in /mnt/sda2 and when unmounting /mnt/sda2 via top right corner of its drive icon, the drive gets unmounted as it should be.

BUT: the rox filer window doesn't close. Instead it stays opened with an empty /mnt/sda2 directory.

It's the first time I have seen this compared to all other Puppies I'd tried so far.

If there is a rox window showing /mnt/sda2 and that dir is deleted, for example, from another rox window or using rmdir, then the window showning /mnt/sda2 will close. If the dir /mnt/sda2 exists, then rox will continue to display it whether a file system is mounted on it or not. Dirs in /mnt are ordinary dirs like any other dir. You can choose to mount a file system on any dir in /mnt or anywhere else, for example, a dir in /root if you like.

If the rox window closes when you unmount a dir using an icon on the desktop (rox pinboard) it would be the script that runs when you click the icon that would be deleting the dir. Or it may be that the script is telling rox to close the window. Something like this:

rox -D /mnt/sda2

That will close all rox windows showing /mnt/sda2 or any subdirectory.

rox -D/ would close all rox windows.

I do not know if the desktop mount scripts have changed, I usually disable them and use the command line to mount file systems. I remember when Puppy didn't have mount icons. I remember when Puppy did not have a desktop/pinboard at all, just a picture of a seagull as wallpaper. Rox was a gtk1 version, fonts were not unaliased, everything was read-only except /root, /var was a tmpfs.

Puppy has changed a lot. But Puppy is still fast, efficient, and great to use as your primary everyday operating system.

I don't use save files / folders.



Sorry!

My fault. Accidentially booted into 7.9.7.

Hello ITSMERSH

NTFS with ntfs-3g does support POSIX attributes, but it depends on the mount options. I suggest that you read the ntfs-3g manpage to see what the options are. There may be unexpected side effects if you enable these.

I don't use NTFS with linux so I can't say what the result is.

[oui]

hum... I suppose that RSH use Puppy out the RAM and that this consideration it without importance as the file system in the RAM is probably a Linux FS?

[Revolverve]

Forgot to mention,if interested;
uefi/lick/ssd-ntfs/frugal_savefile-ext2fs,since bionicpup "birth" ,on one capricious bios/uefi but lick_friendly tablet,that one,had been abused with hard reset reboot from testing in last 5 month and often boot complaining of different % of non-contiguous files.
I am not a fs engineer either...they usually ¨resolved¨(clean) ...by fsck,i guess!!

I mostly use ext2fs on ssd,for years now ,so long ago i dont remember where the suggestion come from..

Got some technical questions about it?
If you want proof of my poor knowledge on the subject ,ask some....
