Port PFS3 to Linux?

You cannot make a true backup of an Amiga drive on Windows/Linux. You loose file notes and certain protection bits.

You better create an LhA archive on your Amiga (or in WinUAE if speed matters) and copy that to your Windows/Linux machine.

A filesystem could make the additional attributes show up as .uaem files (which fs-uae supports). I recently backed up my Amiga UW-SCSI drives on linux, by mounting them in fs-uae, copying to a emulated "Directory", and then compressing that, so all permissions are preserved. To restore back later, I just do it in reverse.

Just buy a MorphOS G4 tower based setup, you'll resolve all your drive reading problems without Linux and without file corruption.

That's as helpful as when people ask how to do something in MySQL and someone writes back to use PostgreSQL..

it is completely possible as I mentioned above to do it with fs-uae on linux, and saves forking out for additional hardware, and a pricey OS licence.

Having a PFS3 FUSE fs or something on linux would still be a useful thing of course.
