Hi,
After battling for half a day with SFS, I finally managed to beat it into submission and get it installed on my HD partitions...
However, it seems to be very slow and also use a lot of RAM, which is an issue on my unexpanded A1200! When using SFS I only have 998KB free, whereas there's 1.6MB free when using FFS.
Here are the results of a few quick timing tests comparing SFS to FFS on the same system/identical partitions (all times in seconds):
FFS SFS
---- ----
Cold Boot 17.9 14.3
Warm Boot 17.4 14.0
Copy 2.8MB 32.5 49.7 (68 sub-dirs, 368 files)
Delete 2.8MB 11.7 99.8 (as above)
Apart from the reboot, it seemed (and also 'felt') noticeably slower than trusty old FFS...
I'd be interested to know if this is normal, or do I need to 'fine tune' SFS to get better performance?
Or am I simply wasting my time trying to use SFS on an unexpanded A1200?
Cheers,
Mike.
