Hi,

you should use opencms-modules.xml
In this file you can enter both the filesystem information as well as 
the workplace-related information for your new resource type.

opencms-vfs.xml and opencms-workplace.xml *could* be used to do the 
same, but you *should* better use opencms-modules.xml, because 
opencms-modules.xml is meant for extensions and the other two are meant 
for system-related stuff.

Only, if you define your files-modules.xml, will they be exported 
together with your module, as soon as you try to export it into a zip file.
