I use/used PFS 3 for years, and the filesystem always self-destructed. Fast, yes, reliable, no. I, in -over- 20 years of use, have never lost one byte of data because of FFS; bad floppies, yes, bad hard disks, yes, but never to FFS software failure - although I have probably waited, in total, months, for file listings  :-D

As an experiment, I even was able to force PFS failures a few years ago, and documented the results. By that time, there was no place to send the bug report  :-(

And yes, this was the commercial paid-for version from Software Hut.
