Big SFS problem - help needed
« on: November 20, 2010, 11:45:49 AM »
Hi.

I have a 40 GB HD on my A1200 (OS3.1 ROM 3.1) with latest SFS 1.279, split in 3 partitions (500 MB for DH0:, 4 GB for DH1: and everything else on DH2:).

Everything was working fine until yesterday.
This morning, i had error messages on boot (see pictures) about SFS errors, and DH0: has become NDOS. DH1 and DH2 are still readable when connecting my HD to UAE.

Is there a way to solve this SFS error? What should i do to save my data on DH0: (hours of carefully choosen programs and patches installed)?






This HD was newly installed in my A1200 (about a month), in replacement of a 8 GB one (hopefully, i still have the old datas on this HD but i will definilty prefer to save the current HD).

I thought i would be spared of this kind of problem with SFS. :(

Thanks for your help.

I take it you didn't make a backup then?

I was thinking of making a hdf backup of DH0: yesterday night, then i thought "this A1200 is rock solid, never crashes even after a whole day of uptime, it can wait" :(

But i still have an old outdated image from 1 month ago.

SFSSalv did the job under UAE, though i am unsure to have 100% of my files back.

I am now backuping everything.

That's the first time i had problem with SFS in 10 years, so i can't blame it too much (unlike FFS).

SFSDoctor for OS 3.x would be appreciated.

Thanks all for your advices.

If someone have more advice about how to setup proper buffer and max transfer suitable for SFS, i am still around :)
