I don't know what FFS V46 is. It's surely nothing official and thus not recommended.

You shouldn't use Directory Cache on harddrives. It adds unnecessary redundancies and is prone to errors.

The driver of your SCSI controller does not support NSD or TD64 and therefore needs a file system which uses Direct-SCSI to accesss harddrives larger than 4GB. PFS3ds or PFS3aio are two options. FFS V44 is another option (not V43 and not V45+). SFS V1.84 is also an option (not V1.277+).

copy pfs3_aio-handler to L: and quick format the remaining partitions with PFS.

It does not work this way. Files in L: are not used unless referenced by a mountlist entry or DosDriver. To use PFS with partitions, you have to install it into the RDB.

Keeping the boot partition on FFS is stupid because the boot partition benefits the most from PFS.

Changing the identifier is not enough. You also have to tell the system what the identifier means. Get the PFS3_53 archive from Aminet, install it and read the documentation. It tells you in every detail how to activate PFS3 and how to change a partition to use PFS3.
