Desperately in need of SFS help! Checksum eror

[Framiga]

Hi

SFSSalv 0.17 here (the one inside the latest SFS archives) but works it correctly, only with NSD compliant device (NOT TD64)

ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/disk/misc/SFS.lha

Use only SFSSalv 0.17 from the archive.

If you have installed IdeFix, DON'T use SFS 1.227.

BTW . .  .start SFSSalv in "Fast" mode.

EDIT- just noticed a tool called DumpBlock inside the main archive. (Smartfilesystem:Tools/)

[Framiga]

so try this:

DumpBlock ?
DEVICE=DRIVE/A,BLOCK/N/A

Never used personally but . . . could be useful

[Framiga]

erm .  .to be honest, i've had the same situation some months ago (SFS 1.214) due an early BT version of Amigift.

Although i've been able to restore some dirs (with SFSSalv) the most went been lost :-(

I've noticed that you are using blocks of 2048 . .  .why so large?

If on those partition, you have to do with large files, so OK (ie video-audio editing or so) otherwise, a smaller blocksize, will enhanche your HD performance a lot.

Bye

try to raise the dosbuffers before to start SFSSalv 0.16 (2000)
