Title: SFS no .recycled
Post by: MrZammler on January 03, 2006, 11:13:39 AM

Installed SFS the other day, on a 8g partition, everything seems to be ok, except for the .recycled directory. It's not there.

version tells me the partition is indeed SFS, I can see the extra speed from the old FFS, but I'm not really sure how to turn on this feature (docs arent helpfull on this, except that they state that it will be there after a quick format).

Any idea?

.recycled should appear by the default (IIRC) but if it doesnt you can format SFS partition by supplied format command (I recall there was an alternative format util in the SFS package). It should have command line options to enable .recycled and show .recycled (you can have it hidden too).

Did you check is there a hidden .recycled?

Have you used the sfsformat tools to format it?
Either that or it is there its just hidden and dosnt show under normal workbench unless set to.

Run a cli,
type cd nameofdrive: (replacing name of drive with your drive)
then type .recycled and u should been in it,
a dir command then gives a list of whats in it.

Nope, I used the standard OS3.9 format (quick format) (Manual says to use this if partition is over the 4g barrier).

Must be hidden then.... Will check in the evening, thanks.

the following works with os4  

dir -auxl

and for color coded listing

dir --color -auxl

Not sure if it works on os3.9
