File System Settings (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
File system settings for Storage Manager follow a two-tier hierarchy.
- Generic file system settings under the root file system key
Settings placed at the root file system key,[HKLM\System\StorageManager\<FileSystemName>],apply to every mounted instance of <FileSystemName>. These settings provide values that apply to all profiles and to all auto-load systems. - Profile-specific file system settings under the profile file system sub-key
Settings at the profile file system sub-key,[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\<MyProfileName>\<FileSystemName>],are profile-specific. That is, settings at this level pertain only to mounted instances of <FileSystemName> on devices reporting the profile <MyProfileName>.
The following table shows the registry settings for any file system that can be set at the root file system level
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\<myFSD>.
| Registry value: Type | Description |
|---|---|
Paging: REG_DWORD |
Controls paging.
|
Util: REG_SZ |
Specifies the DLL name of utility to do format and scan. |
MountFlags: REG_DWORD |
This value is deprecated for Windows CE 5.0 and later. For replacement values, see Mount Settings. |
Dll: REG_SZ |
Specifies the name of the file system DLL. |
LockIoBuffers: REG_DWORD |
Set to 1 (default) to indicate that the FSD Manager should call LockPages to page-in all input/output buffers. Set to 0 only if the file system driver performs all necessary I/O buffering. |
PowerNotify: REG_DWORD |
Set to 1 (default) to indicate that the file system driver should be powered down on suspend. This setting indicates that the FSD Manager should block any suspend and power-down until all threads exit the FSD, and call MyFSD_Notify when suspend and resume events occur. |
In addition to settings that can be applied to any file system, there are a number of settings at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\<myFSD> level that apply only a specific kind of file system, such as FATFS, BINFS, and so on. for mor information, see Settings for Specific File Systems.
The following topics provide information about settings that you can use only with a specific file system:
