Title: Question About PFS3
Post by: dannyp1 on July 18, 2007, 12:31:09 AM

I am thinking about installing PFS3 on my A4000.  I have 2 hard drives installed on the computer.  One is SCSI and the other IDE.  Both are currently FFS.  Is it possible to transfer all of my data to one of the drives, install PFS on the empty drive, then transfer all of the data back to the newly formatted PFS drive and then install PFS on the second drive?  I guess what I'm asking is can one hard drive be PFS and the other FFS and the computer still function?  Any help would be appreciated.

Dan :-?

That's possible. Also be careful about setting the max transfer and the mask properly for your scsi or ide drive. They are written in the manual.

Certainly. You can even mix FFS and PFS partitions on the same drive. So you can convert one partition at a time, no need to do an entire drive at once.
