I communicate with many many Amiga users.
A great number have complained about data going missing when using SFS.
Several people have complained of data going missing on PFS3.
Because of all these complaints I have just stuck with good old reliable FFS all these years.
I do want to try out PFS3 though. The lure of faster speed is hard to resist 
but the possibility of losing data is scary. :nervous:
I love the guy who coded PFS3. He is very very cool. I love Piru for helping to continue its development a bit.
But it just seems to me, looking at it from the perspective of a business manager, that there is a certain level of risk involved in switching to PFS3.
If PFS3 is in fact 100% reliable then it means that all the people who complained about PFS3 were either:
A: Idiots
B: Had defective hard drives.
C: Had defective HD controllers
D: Had defective ram in their ancient Amigas
E: Had unreliable electrical power coming through the wall socket.
F: Had defective Power Supplies.
G: Running some evil hack or buggy program that corrupted the filesystem.
H: Other?
I realize that A-H are completely possible and that PFS3 might be 80000% reliable. But I don't know for a fact.
I hope this analysis helps you in some way
In the years since 87' i have owned most amiga's and most scsi controllers etc out there,i have used SFS and never had one single failure with it.The A4000t i run daily has been going 24/7 for 10+ years now,and other than a mechanical HD failure about 5 years ago doesn't miss a beat with SFS - it was then i went to 32GB cf's for hard drives and never looked back.. I can't imagine anyone liking or wanted FFS these days. the other filesystems have so much more to offer. All my other 30 amiga's all run SFS also,but i can safely say i've tested it well.
I think 95% of the people i have met who have had trouble with SFS have not installed it or set it up correctly, most all of them never bothered to read the docs. The rest who had trouble were mostly max transfer settings.
the last bit was improper termination, bad scsi cables, or a flakey machine caused by bad ram. A few A3000's with reversed term power diodes..
PFS3 probabaly has the same people doing the same stuff
