     NAME
            Info - report information about mounted file 
        system(s).

     SYNOPSIS
          Info NAME DATES

     DESCRIPTION
            This command displays important and useful 
        information about each disk unit. INFO displays what disk 
        volumes are in use and the amount of strorage they have.

            INFO also will display the name of all the disks 
        residing in any physical disk drive. This is helpful if 
        you in helping you remember what volumes are mounted 
        where. You also get a list of available volumes is also 
        listed (those mounted and unmounted).

            The 3 1/2 inch disk has 880k of space available to 
        them. After you format it under OFS (Old File System) you 
        only have 837k left. If you use FFS (Fast File System) 
        you have a full 879k to use. If you are fortunate enough 
        to have a high density drive, then you can use 1759k of 
        disk space. 

            The entire disk format is stored in sectors. There 
        are 1758 usable sectors on the Amiga disk. OFS's divide 
        each sector into 488 bytes whereas FFS has a full 512 
        bytes per sector. High Density disks use 3518 bytes per 
        sector. INFO will report the number of sectors already 
        used on the disk and how many are available for use. RAM: 
        is dynamic.  That means, it will always be reported as 
        100% full (even if it is empty) and will expand as needed 
        until it is full.

            INFO will also report if there are any 'soft' errors 
        on your disk.  So, what is a soft error? Well, it is a 
        temporary error. For example, an error reading 
        information from a disk. If the system cannot read the 
        information off the disk, it will retry a couple times. 
        If all reads fail then you have a hard error. If one of 
        your reads is successful then the original read that 
        failed is flagged as a soft error.

            It also reports whether or not disk disk is write 
        protected. If it is listed as 'Read Only' then your write 
        protection tab is set.  If it is listed as 'Read/Write' 
        then it can be written to as well as read. The RAM: disk 
        cannot be protected from reading or writing, but the 
        files you put in there can be protected from deletion 
        with the use of the PROTECT command.
