SFS errors out of the blue
« on: December 22, 2007, 11:02:07 AM »
See sig for spec of my machine. Has been up and running with no problems for ages now. Nothing has changed as far as the spec is concerned.

I was using my A4000 this morning and when I closed iBrowse I got an error that HD0 (my system partition) was not a DOS disk. I cancelled the error, and then got the following:

"SmartFilesystem request
Volume 'OS3.9' (HD0: cybppc.device, unit 88)
Hashchain of object 4188 is
corrupt or incorrectly linked"

I cancelled it and then got the same error but for a different object number. All the while the HDD LED was constantly on. After I cancelled this error iBrowse finished closing, the HDD LED went off and everything seemed ok. I powered the machine off because I was scared :lol:

Anyone have any idea what this error means? Is there anything to worry about or is it just a warning? Do I need to do anything? Maybe a backup/format/re-copy?

TIA

Thank you - that's good advice. Would you recommend totally erasing and re-partitioning, or is it sufficient to just format the existing partitions?

Thanks again, will back up and reformat ASAP. What is the problem with iBrowse running on SFS partitions?

SFS is buggy. It corrupts itself on some actual usage (which browser cache generates).

I tried SFS couple of years ago. It'd commit suicide after single copy operation (it got as far as 20GB of data copied).

I had no idea SFS was so problematic. I was under the impression it was one of the best and most stable filesystems to use.

What would you recommend as an alternative?

I'm running 1.277 from Aminet currently, but I notice there is a more recent version on the developer's web page (1.58 Beta). Would it be wise to upgrade to this version?

Hmm not according to this page:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/download.htm

Is this a different SmartFileSystem? Or has someone else taken over development?

Is it still possible to register PFS?

Weirdness. Must be a different SFS. Naughty if it is since they seem to have "borrowed" not only the name but also the logo...

I will consider moving over to PFS if I can register it.

I've never had problems with SFS up until now, but I'll give PFS a try anyway. I'm having problems getting my system partition backed up as it keeps saying certain files can't be found. They're all in the iBrowse cache drawer so I might have to copy everything individually and leave that drawer out.

Not sure. I bought it from AmigaKit some time within the last year, but I don't know whether it was brand new when I got it.

I started a backup using ABackup but I'm not sure I like the idea of using an app to back up - I'd rather use LHA. Would somebody mind giving me the correct LHA command to back up a whole partition including all subdirectories and keep all protection bits etc? I know I should check the command line options and figure it out for myself, but I would rather not take any chances if I'm backing up and formatting.

Cheers LoadWB. Will look in to the syntax of LZX.

1.277 is smaller than 1.58...

@AMC258
That makes more sense. 1.277 is not bigger than 1.58 in decimal. Taking the number after the decimal point and treating it as a separate number and comparing it with the number after the decimal point of the other version number seems a bit perverse to me.
