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. 0 - Disables paging 1 - Enables 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:

• FAT File System Registry Settings
• BinFS Registry Settings
• CDFS Registry Settings
• Release Directory File System Registry Settings
