Hi can i just say that if i were to buy one again i would buy one off amigakit .com and not ebay as i did,granted some of the sellers on ebay are very good,but the 4GB CF IDE HARD DISK i bought off ebay had the red stripe on the wrong side ,and it was a good job i had the chance to speak to Amigakit ,or else i would be looking for a new Amiga 1200,so be warned,best wishes Brian

Great news!

It doesn't need the disk-validator like FFS does when something crashes on it in an inopportune time.
-
If something crashes on SFS in the "right" moment, you loose the entire partition and not only a few files.

Reminds me then of PFS3 :)
I seem to be the only PFS3 user for which loss of the partition was not 'if' but 'when'; I did a study one time documenting how long the 'when' took, but never put the results together. And, this was a sample of one (machine), so it could have been an intermittent hardware problem. I certainly am not advocating them, but for all their well known drawbacks, in 23 years, I have not lost one file in OFS or FFS filesystems. Sometimes I did need to use DiskSalv to be able to claim this.
