Quick. You don't need full.

I think people are still remembering floppy disk format. For those, full format was essential, both when the disk was just bought, and to make sure it had no errors.

But hard drive formatting doesn't work that way, trust me. ;)

FFS always sucked. I am REALLY looking forward to FFS2 with OS4.0


MorphOS already has native FFS2, and its not really better than original FFS. The day of FFS is over. It's just too slow and untrustworthy. SFS or PFS are my recommendations.
