I have run PFS3 on all my HDD enabled AMIGA computers for the last 10 years with not 1 single loss of data. From Z3 SCSI to Cappy A4000 / 1200 IDE controlers, they have been fast and rock solid. I have only ever used the .......ds versions for scsi . anyhow, set it up correctly and t should be trouble free.
Any updates on the PFS3 update project? I want to use large disks greater than 4GB partitions :-)
BTW, I have used CloneZilla to clone older drives in sector mode no problems if ayone needs it. Free prog.
Toni Wilen's All-in-One patched version is the most up to date binary floating about.
