Partitioning 8GB CF?

As others have suggested you are best off installing PFS3AIO to the RDB with HDToolBox and then quick formatting your partitions with PFS.

Or keep the boot partition as FFS (NoIntl, NoDirCache) and copy pfs3_aio-handler to L: and quick format the remaining partitions with PFS.

It does not work this way. Files in L: are not used unless referenced by a mountlist entry or DosDriver. To use PFS with partitions, you have to install it into the RDB.

Keeping the boot partition on FFS is stupid because the boot partition benefits the most from PFS.

Indeed, but Mike's successfully avoided all my attempts thus far to pimp PFS to him so I thought I'd break him in gently this way.

Hi Mike, I'm not at home atm but when I get back I will prep a hard drive with PFS to refresh my memory., but if you  want to give it a go before then download the PFS53 archive from aminet and then install it according to the docs.  Once you've done that you can install the pfs3aio-handler to the RDB.
