Smart Filesystem: Is it worth it?

[Piru]

Anybody have any opinions on PFS, based upon *actual long-term usage*?

I've used PFS, AFS, PFS2, PFS3 7-8 years at least, iirc even longer. Started with A1200, and now I use it in Pegasos II. I've never had any serious problems with it (like data lossage). I learnt years ago that using write disk cache app was a bad idea though (at least if it reorders disk writes, RO cache was ok though).

ATM I have 350GB data on PFS3 partitions.

PS. I once tried SFS. It would corrupt itself after writing 20GB data in one go. Tried it 3 times, nuked every time. Thus I haven't used SFS a lot myself, so I can't give you any ideas how well SFS and PFS3 compare.

I don't know how long the FileNote can be though.

79 chars, the standard length.


Regarding version numbers. That is how standard version numbers work. It's no decimal point, but version/revision separator:

version.revision

I didn't see any speed increase either. Both my FFS and SFS partitions get about ~10Mb/sec on my A4000.

Well, it is quite obvious that neither SFS nor PFS3 can make your hardware run faster, thus you will not see your absolute disk access speed to get faster.

However, disk access will be much faster when manipulating disk structures (manipulating lot of directories and files). Here any decent filesystem easily beat FFS hands down.
