SFS giving me a migraine
« on: March 01, 2007, 04:48:50 AM »
I'm starting to get a little tired of all the bizarre filesystem errors I'm getting on my SFS partitions lately.   They're getting more and more frequent just as my disk partitions seem to be getting slower and slower.  I've tried SFSDEFRAGing them, but that has not helped one iota.   Things were great when I first built my SFS partitions (lightning fast, zero errors), but apparently they don't age well, especially under heavy use..  Or am I missing something?  Now I get stuff like this, all the time:

"findextentbnode: findbnode() can't find key 182043! error=0 *returned_bnode=08062858 (*returned_bnode)->key=182018"  
"CONTINUE?" or "NOMOREREQUESTERS?"  

It goes without saying that "No More Requesters" yields...another requester!  

I'm having serious PFS-envy.  :idea:  :idea:   Is this available for sale at all, anywhere, from anyone, for any amount of money?  Or is this another of those stupid abandonware situations where the authors have fled to Mars to join a religious cult (Mac users?) and no longer recognize any form of monetary currency as payment for copies of disowned relics of their former lives?   The frustrations of Amiga ownership are many..  Good thing the hardware kicks ass.  Anyway, back to the purpose of my screed.  :)  Does anyone know if pfs (the newer version that supports huge partitions) can be purchased anywhere?  

If the copyright owner has indeed left the planet and can no longer be bothered with accepting money, then perhaps he could be persuaded to grant a license in lieu of a charitable contribution to a cause of his or her choosing?   How about that as a concept?  Donations to charity in xchange for abandonware licenses -- with owner's approval, of course.

EDIT:  jk about the mac users crack.   Couldn't resist.  :)

All 4 of them?

Yes, I have considered that possibility.  Two of the disks are generating most -but not all- of the errors.  But the slowness is happening on all of them.  Two disks failing I could believe as a coincidence, but 4 out of 4?
