SFS may be beta, but its a hundred times more trustworthy than FFS. I've lost far more data in 2 years use of FFS than in 4 years of SFS.

How do you do it?in five years i have only had one error on my amigahd and thanks to disksalv i only lost about 40 files, non important images.


Because I have a lot of stuff that writes to the HD. If my Amiga crashed during this write, not only would I have to wait ages until the disk validated, sometimes whole directories "magically" disappeared. Also, deleting stuff by mistake sucks on FFS; you have to go on a long, long search with Disksalv, which can't run on partitions past the 4GB limit anyway. With SFS, you get backup copies of deleted files - even ones you copied over by mistake! This on its own is incredibly useful.

FFS had its day, but with hard drives pushing 200GB and applications being more demanding, it just doesn't cut it any more. I'll never go back to FFS.
