best Filesystem

[Piru]

Easy, PFS3.

PFS3 is well worth it. Even though it hasn't been updated for ages it still beats SFS easily.

I not sure if that means more that PFS authors really rule than that SFS authors suck.

@countzero

when was the last time you compared PFS performance to SFS ?

Couple of years ago. Nothing important has happened to SFS since.

I thought you sold your amiga gear long ago ?

The only amiga gear I have ever sold was my old Blizzard 1230 when I upgraded to Blizzard PPC. My A1200 hasn't been set up for years however.

This is irrelevant however as I use PFS3 with MorphOS. Even emulated it still beats the native SFS.

What filesystem does the RAMdisk.device use?

There is no such device. However, ramdrive.device (RAD) uses whatever filesystem you use in the mountlist, by default FFS.

ram-handler (RAM Disk:) on the other hand has built-in filesystem. It is quite different from traditional filesystems as it only needs to keep the data in memory and never write it out to physical media.
