v2.1.1 alpha 1

Changes in this release

• Improve the performance of cluster chain allocation

Writing to a FAT16 partition that is almost full is now much faster thanks to the new per-drive caching of the last cluster number allocated.

• Fix calculation of cluster amount for FAT16 filesystems in FDISK

FAT16 filesystems created with FDISK on previous versions of Nextor has a cluster count in the boot sector that is higher than the actual size of the filesystem, due to a bug in the routine that calculates the cluster count in FDISK. This is fixed in this version.

Changed files

The following files have been changed from v2.1.0:

• All the kernel ROM files.

Note

This release makes significant changes in the way data is written to filesystems. It's recommended to make a backup of your data before trying this release, or to try it with test data.
