GVP A2000 030 Combo SCSI Which filesystem?

[Robert17]

Evening all,

I'm having problems with my GVP Combo and a Mechware SCSI Card reader. FastFileSystem works nicely, however trying to format any sized volume with SmartFileSystem reboots the machine, I have also tried Professional File System SCSI Direct version, which always reports my empty 500mb Partition as almost full though there are no files.

Anyone else had similar troubles? I'm thinking I may just have to stick with FFS. The CF Card I'm using is 4gb so it should work, right?

It's OS 3.1, boot partition is 500mb or so.

I may try professional filesystem non direct SCSI tomorrow. Weird how FFS works but nothing else does though :|

Thanks everyone for the advice, I'll have another go at it later on, I presumed setting up a CF Card was the same as setting up a normal hard disk as I've done it before on an A1200 Using SFS, I'll be sure to read that guide later though :-)

Robert.
