Hello
I just tested Tungsten E2 simulator (debug version) and
FtrGet (sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumDmAutoBackup, &returnVal);
produced returnVal=0.
That's strange given that both T5 handheld and the emulator return non-zero
values.
I have couple more questions that emerged while iterating VFS volumes.
Volume enumeration returns:
1st drive
Attributes: vfsVolumeAttrSlotBased|vfsVolumeAttrHidden|8
VolumeInfoType.mediaType='ssdr'
2nd drive
Attributes: vfsVolumeAttrSlotBased|8
VolumeInfoType.mediaType='lsdr'
Empty label
Looks similarly to the T5 except the label. Real T5 device returns the
string "INTERNAL". Does real E2 device return a meaningfull label as well?
(Otherwise we need to synthetize a name, but I don't know which criterion to
use.)
What does the attribute "8" mean?
What do the media types mean? Actually these values seem to be identical to
those returned by e.g. T5 (as far I remember). Still, I would like to know
if there is any specific meaning behind them.
Best regards,
Jan Slodicka

sysFtrNumDmAutoBackup is
