Anyone working on PFS3 ??

[itix]

It may be a "Fact" to Piru and yourself but I beg to differ I say SFS is fast and again it's all down to opinions, nothing else...

SFS stops being fast when admin blocks are cluttered over the disk. Performance degrades faster if you are using .recycled directory but reality is that newly formatted SFS disk is always faster than old empty SFS disk.

Then more fool you as SFS doesn't have the filesize or HD size limitations that PFS3 does...

SFS partitions are limited to 127GB and filesize can not be larger than 2GB. In theory you can have file size to almost 4GB but it is not guaranteed to work with all applications.

With the introduction in SFS of SF2 partitions the 127GB limitation

Yes but it can corrupt your data. That is at least case with the original SFS and I dont have idea about SFS2 but I dont think it was fixed. I recall Joerg said it was not fixed.

was done away with a number of years ago along with the 4GB filesize...

You can not really access files larger than 4GB in OS3. First of all file size of 4GB+ files is reported wrong (have size of 0 bytes) and applications can not seek past 4GB barrier. Some applications might be able to read those files but it is not guaranteed to work.

Piru paying out money... aye right... and I'm the Queen of England...

No, you are the king of scotland :-)

Sorry mate but once again your wrong on OS3.1, 3.5 & 3.9 and SFS with SF2 partitions you can indeed read and write files even with the c: command "Copy"...

Yes that might work indeed. It is not intended behaviour though. Just side effect of Copy command implementation.

Again I assure you in all the years of using SFS I have not lost one bit of data and applications don't handle the actual data transfer (that's what the file system does)...

You can. I dont know if it was fixed in OS3 version but there was a bug it could accidentally trash fs admin blocks. Not so annoying than crashing FFS partition though.

The only problems you will encounter are application displaying the wrong file size as most were written never expecting to take files of >4GB into account...

OS3 applications can never display file size correctly. It just isnt possible.

Heck even OS4.0 came with it's own PPC version of SFS as most apps in that are written to display the correct file and HD size...

I have never seen it so cant comment.

As I've said before don't knock it till you try it...

I have been using SFS since version 1.52 from 1998 and all my partitions are SFS still. Wrote small app for it long ago. I never had PFS.
