Amiga File System

The only real options these days are FFS (default), SFS, and PFS.
FFS is the slowest. I don't know how SFS and PFS compare to each other in terms of speed, but I'm sure others can answer that.

SFS is a bit faster than FFS but slower than PFS. It needs a 68020 CPU. And it is a catastrophy regarding support. It can run stable over years, but if something goes wrong you usually lose everything. There is no repair tool and the only salvage tool does not work.

I can speak to this exact scenario. MorphOS uses SFS by default and even there the situation there is not much better, despite being actively maintained, unlike the 68K SFS. I ran the MorphOS SFS repair/salvage tool to fix a directory block problem; it failed and destroyed the entire partition. Fortunately I had just done a full backup before tinkering. Good thing!
