The Amiga FFS is old and cranky, but, for now, it's going to have to stay.
Hyperion have said it's one of those things that do need replacing, but legacy reasons prevent it from being junked in favour of something more modern.
@Codesmith
M$ are definately going down the 'journalled FS' road with 'Longhorn', but I suspect it'll be a 'Longhaul' ™©® for them, as anything they do seems to be.
Much like Workbench itself, the FS will need sorting out in say the next OS revision (4.1/2), but for now we'll have to deal with waiting for our 80GB HDD's to validate after an error.............................................
