HDD from command line

brolly · 29 March 2012, 05:05

I searched for any info about this, but couldn't find anything. Is it possible to mount a hard disk image (or directory) from command line directly?
If so what's the CLI arguments I need to pass to WinUAE?

Also when mounting a zip file directly as a hard disk image, will it mean that disk will be read-only or does WinUAE extract it to any temporary location and so it can read/write to it?

Yeah I'm aware of all those command lines, but they didn't help me on mounting hard drives though since the syntax isn't the same as the one used on the config files.
But I spent a while looking at the sources and managed to figure how to mount them, everything's working fine or it seems so.
I did a quick test mounting a HDF file on dh0 with WB a directory on dh1 and a zip file on dh2, here's the command line I used. If Toni or anyone else could have a quick look at it and lmk if I missed something that would be very appreciated.

winuae.exe -s use_gui=no -s quickstart=a1200,1 -s hardfile=rw,32,1,2,512,.\HDD\Workbench3.1.hdf -s filesystem=rw,Work:.\HDD\Work -s filesystem=ro,WHDLOAD:C:\amiga\whdload\ATF2_v1.1a_2396.zip -portable

Everything seems to be working so far.
