- <h2>File and Path name on the FatFs module</h2>
- <p>The format of file and path name on the FatFs module is similer to MS-DOS. However it does not have a concept of current directory like OS oriented file system. All objects on the drive are specified in full path name from the root directory.</p>
- <pre>
- "[<em>drive#</em>:][/]<em>directory</em>/<em>file</em>"
- "file1.txt" a file on drive 0
- "/file1.txt" (same as above)
- "dir1/dir2/file1.txt" a file on drive 0
- "2:dir3/file2.txt" a file on drive 2
- "2:/dir5" a directory on drive 2
- "" the root directory on drive 0
- "/" (same as above)
- "2:" the root directory on drive 2
- </pre>
- <p>The FatFs module supports only 8.3 format file name and long file name is currentry not supported. For directory separator, a '/' is used, not a '\'. Heading '/' is ignored and can be omitted.</p>
- <p>The logical drive number is specified in a numeral with a colon. When the drive number is omitted, it is assumed default drive (0:). As for the Tiny-FatFs, it has only one logical drive and always works as drive 0. Any drive number cannot be contained in the path name.</p>

- <h2>Correspondence between logical/physical drive</h2>
- <p>In default, the FatFs module has work areas that called <em>file system object</em> for each logical drive. The logical drive is bound to the physical drive that has same drive number, and the first partition is mounted. When <tt>_MULTI_PARTITION</tt> is specified in configuration option, each individual logical drive can be bound to any physical drive/partition. In this case, a drive number resolution table must be defined as follows:</p>
- <pre>
- Example: Logical drive 0-2 are assigned to three pri-partitions on the physical drive 0 (fixed disk)
- Logical drive 3 is assigned to physical drive 1 (removable disk)
- const PARTITION Drives[] = {
- {0, 0}, /* Logical drive 0 ==> Physical drive 0, 1st partition */
- {0, 1}, /* Logical drive 1 ==> Physical drive 0, 2nd partition */
- {0, 2}, /* Logical drive 2 ==> Physical drive 0, 3rd partition */
- {1, 0} /* Logical drive 3 ==> Physical drive 1 */
- };
- </pre>
- <p>There are some consideration when use <tt>_MULTI_PARTITION</tt> configuration.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Only pri-partition (0-3) can be mounted.</li>
- <li>When the physical drive have no partition table (super floppy format), the partition number is ignored.</li>
- <li>The physical drive that has two or more logical drives must be fixed drive.</li>
- </li>
