Hi Eric,
I'm porting the following function:
int rqblockio (unsigned char command, struct dpb *dpbp);
In particular, the command I need to emulate is:
C_BLDBPB (which builds the Bios Parameter Block)
to do that, I'm gonna:
1. Read the boot sector of the volume
2. Make some calculations
3. Fill the fields of dpb (disk parameter block)
The dpb has the following field: "dpb_nfreeclst" which is the number of free
clusters of the volume.
How am I supposed to calculate "dpb_nfreeclst"?
The boot sector, in fact, contains the number of "available" clusters but not
of "free_clusters".
Is "dpb_nfreeclst" really needed by FreeDOS?
thanks for your support,
Enrico
