OS4 and SFS (crash)

[AMC258]

It used to be that if I did something that caused two programs to do lots of disk I/O at the same time, OS4 would deadlock.  If I ran two large ELFs at the same time it would happen every time.

Well, I ditched SFS for PFS, and the problem went away.  I've been running this way for quite some time now, and it hasn't happened once.

At the time I didn't even suspect SFS was the problem.  I just switched to PFS because SFS was trashing my data!

All but two.  I have one that I don't use that is formatted with FFS.  The only reason it exists is I didn't need anymore 4G partitions, and that one takes up the remainder of the disk.
The other one, which the drive is currently turned off (noisy) still has SFS on it.  It's a large drive that has nothing but MP3s on it.  I never bothered to convert it because it's got well over 4G worth of stuff on it and it never gets written to (so SFS won't corrupt it).

Yes, the boot partition is PFS3.
The only drawback of using PFS3 under OS4 is that if you have partitions >4G, all kinds of bad things happen.
