SFS 1.x is available for AmigaOS4/PPC as well. It doesn't matter if you use AmigaOS 3.x/m68k or AmigaOS4/PPC, the only reason to use SFS 2.x instead of 1.x is for files > 4 GB, the max. file size of SFS 1.x is 4 GB - 2 bytes, SFS 2.x supports much larger files.
Most SFS tools (SFSDefrag, SetCache, SFSObject, SFSConfig, etc.) work with SFS2 as well, only tools which don't use the file system but work directly on the data (SFSCheck, SFSSalv and PartitionWizard) don't work with SFS2 partitions.
although SFS2 doesn't make any sense if nobody writes any software which works with files > 4 GB, AFAIK lha is the only AmigaOS 3.x software which was changed to support large files until now. There will be a SFS2Salv soon, but I'll probably change the SFS2 data structures once more for it, it urrently has problems with partitions which were used with SFS 1.x and quick reformatted to SFS2.
