PFS (Professional File System)
« on: October 03, 2010, 03:38:50 AM »
I'm still trying to save my hard drives.  I have pulled them from their original home (A3000 with PIV and Cyberstorm 060) and am looking at them with another machine (A3000 with PII) one at a time.  I have gotten most of the important data backed-up.  Now I'm trying to find out what went wrong.  PFS-II is supposed to be pretty safe, after all.

Trying to access the files on my old 100 Meg boot partition, I get the following error requests:

Disk Update Failed
Wrong dirblock id
Read attempt outside partition

These show up when I try to access SYS:Prefs/Env-Arch/.  In fact, Dopus shows this directory to be empty.  This is why my machine stopped booting with this drive.  

How can a whole directory be gone?  There is still 28 Megs of free space on this partition.

Should I try to delete the Env-Archive and then re-write it?  Could this salvage the partition?  The whole hard drive?

PFS-III can't become available too soon.
