Hello,
When i had my 30gig HD connected to my A1200, i originally had FFS installed (from Amiga OS 3.9). I had 3 partitons, 1 was 4gig, the 2nd was 2gig, and the 3rd was 24gig. After a while i ran into some trouble, FFS saying that the HD had validation problems (mainly the 4gig and 24gig partitions). I kept getting error requestors and formatting problems. This problem was so severe, it almost pushed me to the edge. I had a well documented "mental" problem, and had to be assigned to the Wonford Mental Asylum in Exeter. I was so humiliated, i had to share a nut house with all these "nutters". I was cracked up, a broken man. But luckily (and thank God), help was on its way. The good people at Amiga.org suggested that i should ditch FFS and use SFS.
From the moment i installed it onto both partitions i have never looked back. I have never got any trouble using SFS. And now that i have got myself a new 4gig 2.5" HD, i recommended myself to use SFS over PFS3, it is that good. I thoroughly recommend anyone to use SFS instead of the sinking ship FFS. Use SFS before you go through the terrible traumas that i had to go through. DO IT! :-)
Regards,
