SFS or PFS ?
« on: February 14, 2007, 01:24:16 PM »
I am getting ready to install a different file system in my A4000D.  I want to use either SFS or PFS and wondered which would be the best.  I have seen and read arguments for both and still haven't been able to decide.  I realize SFS is still being developed and supported but does that make it better than PFS?  Any help, comments, and opinions would be appreciated.  Thanks,     Dan :-?

I lost a partition last week using FFS.  If I'm gonna lose them anyway I might as well lose them while transferring data fast.  I guess if I really wanted to stay living in the past I could go back to OS 1.3.  I guess the fun of using my Amiga is trying to keep moving forward and not stay stuck in Neutral.  I have to believe if using SFS or PFS was an automatic ticket to ruined partitions than nobody would use them and I know that's not the case.   Dan

a4000mad, were you happy with the performance improvement when you switched to PFS?  Was it a real noticeable improvement?  Would you recommend the PFS?  Had you tried SFS?   Thanks,   Dan
