I used PFS3 in the past on other systems.  I only have FFS partitions under OS3.2 on the current Amiga.  I downloaded PFS3AIO from Aminet but it doesn't include an installer or documentation for install/setup.

Do I just copy the files to L: then add the filesystem in HDToolBox?  What ID should be used?  Any other particulars to be aware of?

Can PSF3AIO be used for boot partitions?

Thanks.

Plenty of topics on this subject in the web.

As a rule I use the following DOS Identifier for PFS which is: 50465303

Good luck.

I use PFS3 and it can be hit and miss with the Max Transfer. Normally OS 3.2 will set this to the max. But have had SD card issues with this setting. I use DOS 0x50465303. But this is on version 19.2.
Now I have been brave and use Tony Willens Version 20.0 BETA which works great! By the way 19.2 (Current public release) doesn’t  use anything past 1024 block size even though HDToolBox will set it. Version 20.0 does and works well, even fixes a tonne of issues I was having with 19.2.

Same, never even knew there was a beta. Thought it would have been pusched by now, as its from last year.

Yeah, when I was on there before the bald one spat his dummy out 🤦🏻‍♂️ and got me kicked off. I was in conversation with Toni about it. I think there was another thread somewhere, where people were testing it? I asked Toni when it was to be released properly? All I got was “When it’s ready and it won’t corrupt data”. Been using the Beta release over a year without incident 🤞🏻 Sorts out a lot of issues I had with 19.2 (3.1) current release. Can use it with zip and Jaz drives as well. The 4096 block size works really well 👍🏻
