New SFS - v1.213

[JaXanim]

Am I correct in thinking that you don't have to reformat the partition to upgrade the SFS filesystem to v1.213/4?

I just replaced the SafeFilingSystem file in L and used HDToolbox to update the RDB using the 'Save' command. Is that how it's done?

Yes, I noticed  that the latest HDToolbox assigns the latest SFS driver to all partitions at once. I thought I was seeing things at first! Glad it's been highlighted.

The new driver is added to the list for each partition. I noticed that the driver abbreviation (SFS/100 for example) can be confusing. I noticed it said FFS/ against the updated SFS driver. Very odd! Deleting the old driver reference seems to fix it.

Installing SFS instead of FFS requires a Quick Reformat, so back up all your stuff before doing it!

Hi Framiga,

OK, got it now, thanks.

I notice the Blocksize varies between 512 or 1024 across six partitions. The SFS notes say 512 is fastest, but I guess I'd need to backup any partition for which I change the Blocksize.

Is that so? Would I have to (effectively) reformat to change the Blocksize?

@lempkee

So for the benefit of me and anyone else who can't figure it out, what does it mean? Should I use 512 or 1024?
