File system differences

[runequester]

So far I am quite happy with FFS, but I know a lot of people use either SFS or PFS. What are the advantages associated with the two, compared to the old FFS, and under what circumstances is it worth switching?

I use SFS, and am pretty happy with it. Think it needs 020+, though (060 here). Haven't played with PFS, though. Oh, no more waiting for a 4GB FFS partition to validate because this beast decided to crash during an HDD write. Seems alot faster, too. I remember even loading Doom2 on FFS took forever, unless I used addbuffers to allocate an obscene amount of memory to it. SFS is MUCH quicker. Also seems faster with emulation using hardfiles then on native file-systems.

I've never run into the validation problem, but my miggy doesn't have a ton of tweaks or expansions, so it doesn't crash very much.
 
The speed would be nice of course.

Thats a good idea. May have to mess around with that this week.

Im using a CF card, 4 gig total, but no partition over 2, so thats not too much of a concern.

[runequester]

Good point! Unless you decide to upgrade to a larger CF card that is

absolutely

PFS3 is still only available from the amiga format cover disk right?
