New SFS - v1.213

[Framiga]

Hi x56h34

no need to reformat from 1.213 to 1.214.

Only who has the OLD version of SFS (that are not compatible) must reformat.

IIRC from SFS 1.185 to the last, are all compatible.

It seems to need more than 40 seconds to start viewing the readme but here it is for people that don't know what this program can do :

what? are you jokeing? 40 sec for open the readme?

On which system? just installed SFS 1.214 from 1.213 without problem on my crap 040!

Let me know

Hi lionstorm

sorry but i don't agree.

When you perform an "Update Filesystem" (ie from SFS 1.213 to 1.214) ALL the partition OF THE SAME HD, are upgraded (with the last BB-2 HDToolbox).

When you click on "ADD-UPDATE" button, will appeares the Filesystem Window and it is the same for ALL the partition of the HD.

Try and let we know :-)

Hi lionstorm

not here.

Have you the last BB-2 HDToolbox? This version is more "intelligent" than the previous one.

I've just checked with RDB.Informer, and i have the right one filesystem on ALL the partition (of the same HD)

HDToolbox ver. 45.6

Ciao and Happy X-mas :-)

Hi All,

WOW!!! noe with SFS 1.214, SFSDefrag WORKS :-)

2 days ago, i've tryed SFSDefrag with SFS 1.213 and . . . .CRASHED!!! (i've lost ten years of life).

Now, even if slow on my 040@30 Mhz, SFSDefrag take, for a 2 GB partition, quite 40 minutes :-(

Great filesystem! even if slower than the CPU optimazed PFS 18.5, it seems more reliable.

Hi JaXanim

yes, because you shouldn't click on "ADD new filesystem", , BUT you should click on "Update Filesystem".(after selecting the old one)

And AFAIK, all the not FFS and PFS, are showed like CFS\00 one.

The options are:

-Standard Filesystem  (FFS)

-Custom Filesystem  (SFS or PFS but you must type the ID manually)

-CFS\00 (SFS no need to type the ID-ghosted)

-PFS\03 (PFS as above)

-UNI\01 ()

Hi JaXanim

yes absolutely.

BloskSize and Mask are the two options, that requires to reformat.

Quite all values are changeable without reformat (ie MaxTransfer, Buffers, pri)

Chech that ALL the partitions of ALL your HDs, have the same MASK and Maxtransfer.

For the BlockSize, if you have a FastATA interface or SCSI, 1024 is the best (with a 68060). If you have, like me a slooow IDE with a 040, 512 is better.
