PFS3 Does Not Install - Error

[Franko]

If you've got SnoopDos try running that just to make sure the installer is looking in the right place, it could for example in a badly written install script be looking in DH0: and not the current place where you have the archive... (it can & does happen)...

Failing that install SFS (it's much better anyway)...

Oops I was trying to click on "Proceed" in the picture there and nothing happened think I need some coffee or a Bovril even...

[Franko]

I know Franko, but I grow weary of this kind of laziness from developers. I was a software tester for about 5 years and I know they never try anything they just compiled / packaged. And make gross assumptions about what "users" should know or do.

Not my job. And does not inspire much confidence about the other thousand lines of code to follow...

Agreed, but it could just be something (dare I say it) you are doing wrong, whichever the case, it's crap when something like this gets released and something as basic as the installer doesn't work properly, like you say it doesn't inspire confidence...

[Franko]

Yeah it happens, but PFS is considerably better than SFS in some areas. I just wish SFS was updated more often.

It hasn't been updated since 2007 as far as I'm aware and I don't think the guy who took over from the original author bothers with it anymore...

Mind you having said that I've been using SFS for many years now and am very happy with it...

SmartFileSystem Ver 1.279

[Franko]

Well too bad. The filesystem really is the best there is.

Not true... SFS is much better (as I've argued before)...

[Franko]

• PFS3 is faster than SFS (easy to benchmark and verify as a fact)
• PFS3 fragments less than SFS over time (easy to verify as a fact)
• PFS3 has a repair tool, SFS doesn't (except MorphOS SFSDoctor)
• PFS3 is more reliable than SFS (somewhat subjective and harder to verify)

What SFS has going for it is the support for larger partitions than PFS3.

You answered that one yourself...

But not one to miss an opportunity then in reply...

Oh... and of course the correct answer you so kindly gave yourself...

[Franko]

So again we're in agreement that PFS3 is superior. Great!

Think you need new goggles...

Should've gone to SpecSavers...

(You probably wont get that one, it's a British TV ad...)

[Franko]

Nope, I can see perfectly fine that you provided no evidence whatsoever that would change my assessment of the facts. Claims 1, 2 have been proven to be correct numerous times in the past, by numerous different people. Claim 3 is a plain cold fact. But as we well know you won't bother, instead resorting to just making some seemingly witty comments. Some claim we need village idiots, I'd say we can do just fine without.


Oh but I do. We do have specsavers. No, I don't shop my glasses from there.

So if you know I won't bother then why do you bother responding (seem a lot of bother to go to when you know I won't bother and you can't be botherd with my replies)...

(Note I said replies, not answers...)

Plus if you "can see perfectly fine" then why do you wear glasses, is it trendy or somefink... :confused:

@Piru

i don't get why you still arguing with this "individual"!

People who knows how PFS3 perfoms, will go straight using it, others not.

Don't wast your time...  he is here for the only purpose to stir people and to gain post count.

No I'm not...

Whoopee chalk another one up to me post count... :banana:

PS: I am not an "individual" We am a "collective"...

[Franko]

i know, my fault. there are many in your brain!

Always room for one more on top...
