Is the boot partition in the first 4G of the disk?  Are you running the standard (SETPATCHED) SCSI.DEVICE or a utility like IDEFIX?
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Tried to format with OS3.9 format command and it worked, but looks no faster than FFS.


SFS won't be much faster than FFS on the standard IDE.  This is due to limitations of the hardware (lack of DMA, faster PIO modes, etc.).  In fact, on my A1200 the FFS (with DirCache) is slightly faster than SFS using the onboard IDE.

I don't think SFS was designed to be much faster, just safer, more efficient, and with more features.
