Just what the world need, another custom, proprietary, non-free filesystem that need exotic hardware and operating system for data retrieval. Congrats with that.

Just a few notes then :)
* One can now store more data than it is comfortable to make backups of on a morphos machine, yay
* If said machine has a malfunction one can not comfortably retrieve the data on another machine, since that machine also would have to be one with registered morphos and icefs on (or, you can do copying for 30 minutes, then reboot, continue etc. if you really need to)
* The filesystem is not mountable or anything from any other OS (as of yet anyhow, when/what and under what iicense is the author "open" to develop for?)
* To be released as "Freeware" after 300 registered users, whatever that means;
- never to be released (due to never reaching the 300 mark)
- eventually released and abandoned, no support, bugfixes etc.
- eventually released and with sources after the 300 mark, or despite not reaching it
- freeware binary, but no sources, still abandoned, no support etc

It will be interesting to see how this works out.

PFS, SFS, FFS, EXT2, NTFS, SgiXFS, HFS, FAT and now IceFS.

And all of the above, with one exception, can be read using any random PC, mac or whatever without much cost or hassle involved.

Why are you even replying? I'm not here for a meta discussion about how one is not allowed to question or criticise anything in the MorphOS camp - this is about a new filesystem and what consequences this new filesystem poses for the amiga platforms. As for "to be released", please read more carefully, I was not writing about this release, I was writing about it being released as "freeware".

You can (and should) always stick to FFS or SFS if you need a mobile HD.
Why? Those have all kinds of quirks and old limitations.

What I'm saying is that it's great we finally have a new amiga centric filesystem, but too bad that it (IMO) comes with a big pile of "what if"s and uncertainties.

Ah, you mean filesystem which would be available to everyone.


One that at least has a clearly outlined future.
