I've poked around abit with SFS and I can tell you that there are many pitfalls.
First of all: the docs are not up to date; they reflect the old 1.58 (I think). The ID you want is the one the filesystem list states, not the docs(!).
The identifier have changed several times during devlopment.
And people: you MUST use the update feature in HDToolbox properly when trying to update SFS! Don't just add the new version to the list and start typing the new ID to partitions(!). Click the add/update button, select the old version, click update and click the new version (wherever it's located). Then save changes and you're done. Without data loss(!).
I use a blocksize of 1024 with SFS. It's real fast. However there are people who get serius performance issues and I don't know why.
The file handling benchmark included in the SFS archive says my SFS partitions are about as fast as the RAM disk (filehandling! not transfer rates nor seektimes!).
My best guess so far is that some people may have increased the read-ahead and that cripples performance seriusly. Or they don't add enough buffers to their partitions. Using A500? :-) Who knows?
Disagreed.
1. If something important like the change of the Identifier would happen then i am 100% sure that this would be mentioned in the doc.
2. I tried that little instruction you wrote out and i got the same Identifier! I clicked Add/Update button, then clicked update on the current SFS i was using then clicked the one in L and i got the same results!
3. The HDToolBox/Info recognises the filesystem as SFS\00 and Filesystem: smartfilesystem (Custom File System SFS\00). The SFS\00 is also on the list.
4. I heard that Blocksize should be 512, but is usable in 1024, if the right speed Hard Drive / options is used.
Just for the record, my Identifier is 53465300 and the version i use is 1.212. What is your version and Identifier?
@Framiga
Have you sorted your SFS out yet?
