SFS boot partition?

[xyth]

I have just, after much transfering of files, installed SFS on my 4GB HD and am having one of those warm fuzzy I love my Amiga moments as I revel in the increased speed.

Can't believe I didn't do this sooner.

However, I have left FFS on my boot partition.  I would very much like to change this to SFS as well, considering all my system files are on here this should speed everything even more.

Is this wise?  Will it create any problems that I may have overlooked?  Advice would be appreciated.

Note:  I'm using a 4xEIDE interface.

It's the problems that I'm not expecting that I'm worried about



I have SFS in the RDB so recognition shouldn't be  an issue.  I'm sure it'll be fine, I just thought I'd rather be safe than sorry and get some advice first.

Well I decided to install SFS on my boot partition, and don't worry, everything went smoothly and everything is faster.  Yay!

Of course, what I did was follow an old link from another thread and have installed version 1.58 from c.1999!  I just discovered that the latest Aminet version is 1.205!  BUGGER.

So another evening is to be spent transfering and backup up files.  Oh well, it's my own fault for not doublechecking.

On the positive side, this might mean that everything is going to get even more efficient.

All's well that ends well..

Turned out versions 1.58 and 1.205 are compatible (unlike previous versions) so all I needed to do was update the version in the RDB.

So I got all annoyed for no reason.  Don't I feel silly...


BTW, I recommend SFS to everyone.  It's halved my boot up time, and IBrowse caching seems to fly now.

I haven't crashed the system since installation of SFS so I can't comment on the stabilty yet.  But from everyone's comments it sounds like I'll never have to wait for validation again.

Thanks to everyone for their advice and comments.
