It is good to see there are some people interested in extending PFS and bugfixing. The potential problem of separate incompatible PFS versions has been raised. How about collaborating - enhance PFS together instead of spreading our efforts into subprojects. I could set up a public domain source repository. Github perhaps, or something similar.
Please note that this only makes sense to me if there are at least some people intending to participate. Please let met know.

I would be very interested to participate. Years ago I already did some (private) binary patch to PFS3 to avoid certain "beta warning requester" that would pop up if large amounts of changes were committed to the FS (for instance if you deleted more than 1GB of data in a one go you'd easily get this requester). I did this by raising some buffer size. It raised the memory usage but made it possible to delete large amounts (tens of GBs) without any issues. (quick search: It appears to be that ResToBeFreed /* this should never happen */ does happen in some cases
Anyhoo now I can see that my patch modified RTBF_CACHE_SIZE for the allocation and the comparison.)
Also I've already mentioned the resethandler improvement I'd like to add. Additionally I'd like to include support for the MorphOS 64bit dospacket interface (even though the FS itself only supports 32bit file sizes so far).
Also improvements to softlink support would be nice thing to have. At least making it work closer to how FFS works.
However, I'll be able to work on this may the earliest.
