PFS3 is soon to become free and opensource

[Karlos]

An open PFS would be very nice. It is a quality filesystem.

[Karlos]

Not really. The filesystem is I/O bound anyway, so there is little benefit from porting it to PPC.

I've used PFS3 as my main filesystem on MorphOS for 10 years now.

I don't really see it as a performance issue but at the very least, making a platform-independent version written purely in C would be a good idea such that it can be used with AROS. In doing so you open the door for a PPC native version anyway.

[Karlos]

exactly what i wanted to say, no need to port it to ppc.

As I said, think not of the speed increase (if any) but the portability aspect.

[Karlos]

I think what he means is that if your filesystem is on disk and that part of the disk happens to go bad, it may complicate rescuing whatever else is on the disk.
