WINUAE and ReOrg
« on: October 07, 2005, 02:40:45 PM »
Hey all,

Have any of you noticed the problem with partition sizes in OS3.9 and ReOrg??

I have a nice 6 GB partition all FFS and working nicely, only problem is, ReOrg won't touch it giving bad pointer code errors.

Does anyone know of a good FFS de-frag prog for 6GB partitions and above?

Sorry if that confuses you. :)
FFS is not a very fragment free file system.
Infact, it's quite bad especially with a lot of smaler files.
Yes I am running emulation.

Emulation or not isn't the point really.
If the data is spread out over the drive, it takes longer to load and
can be a problem when editing. I have an 800MB Workbench partition
that I can defragment no problem and it keeps it nice and fast.

What I would like to know is if there is a program that can defragment
my 6 GB hdd which is using FFS or do I really have to get nasty and
install a better file system like PFS to keep the fragmentation down.

I do a lot of sound editing work so this is important for me :)

Actually I use a 3 1/2 inch IDE drive plugged in via USB at work on my XP box that I can plug back in via a piggy back cable and swith at home directly in to my AMIGA all in a nice little alulminium case with a external power supply.

Next step will be to make a small transportable yet internal supply, perhaps battery pack?? Dunno yet.

That way, it's portable, bootable and I can take it to work with me.

Oh, no it's not a hard file. It's an AMIGA formatted IDE drive.

@Blobrana
God, that must take forever.
Looks like there is another tool request for some bright coder out there.

Files are only going to get larger with this hd tv cards etc, not that there are any esp for classic AMIs, still sound editing is bad enough now lol  I just hope it won't just be for OS4 only :-\


@Zipper
As for DiskMonTools, if it's really that slow, what Blobrana is suggesting may be quicker lol ;)

Looks like I will try install PFS on to it :)
