The PFS Vs SFS reminds me of the whole VHS Vs BetaMax thing, VHS (PFS) may a have won out in the end but BetaMax (SFS) was technically superior and yet it lost... ;)
And why exectly is SFS better than PFS? I'd like to know, because I want to move to PFS ;)

Well I would have thought my opening post in this thread along with some of the others would have made that clear why in my opinion SFS is better, perhaps you should re-read (or even just read them) as there is no point in me repeating them... ;)
I have, which is why I'm asking the question ;) The only true advantages I can see based on your posts are the huge file sizes, huge partitions and huge drives, which are all things I don't need.

1) I don't need terabytes of hd space (I have a hard time filling up my peecee's 500 gig drive ;)).
2) I don't need terabyte partitions (64 terabyte, haha, right :lol:).
3) I don't terabyte files (what possible use is this?).

While those are clearly advantages when you do need them, what I want to know is this: Where is the support software? Things can go wrong. Perhaps not often, but when they do, having some support software is certainly not a luxury. What about bugs? I've read some bad things about SFS.

So, apart from what you've mentioned, why is SFS truely better than PSF? You see, if it really is better, then I'm not moving to PFS, because it's a hassle to re-setup my system :)

Well if it's not for you then you don't need to know anymore about it... :)
No, perhaps it is. I'm currently using it, and want to know if there's any point in moving to PFS, which seems to be a high quality software product from what I've read.

As for software support, where is the software support for thousands of programs that have been written for the Amiga... ;)
No, not 'software support', 'support software'. I didn't write 'software support' :p You have a file system which is the main software, then you have recovery software, which is an example of support software ;)
