I used to be a big fan of PFS (and before when it was called AFS), but eventually ditched it (last year) for SFS because PFS's support for long file names is terminally broken - using long file names can corrupt the current folder or even the whole disk.  I haven't looked back since :-)

Oh, and yes, I did have PFS set-up correctly.  There was a lot of discussion about how to do it correctly, from when it was still called AFS, and it worked fantastically well apart from the long file name problem.

what i "love" about your sentences, is the "absolute" way you post it!

what about to start with  "on my system" for example? ;-)

ah... obviously PFS3 doesn't have any problems with long filenames

Hmmm... I don't know if one problem on PFS was because of long filenames or what, but resulting corruption of current dir or whole disk sounds familiar.

I had reproduceable problem with wu-ftpd and PFS3 on my A1200. If I tried to write stuff with ftp to place which wasn't allowed to write, the PFS flipped completely and messed up dirs. Same didn't happen on SFS.

then i suggest to tell to the wu-ftp author, to fix his tool.

The same happened a couple years ago with Amigift also .... fixed then by his author ;-)

unfortunately i'm not a coder. The only thing i can say is that was a Amigift core component (giftd the daemon IIRC) fault.

I could ask to the author as soon as i'll get him on the devel mailing list :-)

@ChrisH

have you ever set the filenamesize option during the format?

FILENAMESIZE=FNSIZE

FILENAMESIZE=107 here
