SFS problem
« on: November 28, 2003, 07:27:48 AM »
One of my SFS partitions has just filled up and now I've got a serious problem.. It won't let me delete any files off the drive! When I try, it tells me the disk is full! (Duh!)

Is the only way around these situations to simply back everything up and format it? (This seems like a simple problem being overblown by the fs.)

I think you need "setfilesize" from aminet:

You can change the size of a file with this program.
This can be very handy, if you use the SmartFileSystem, and can't delete files anymore
from a partition formated with SFS (you get a "disc is full" error).

This is a known bug of the SFS (v1.84) with nearly full partitions.

You only have to change the size of any file on such a partition and voila
you can delete files from it again!

For example: SetFileSize 10

This command reduces the filesize of the file to 10 bytes, after that you can
delete this and any other file you want!


Hope that helps,

regards

Hi Dragster

nice :-) it works.

Do you know if those "diskfull" problem, is still present in tha latest SFS version? (SFS 1.212) and as the SFS docs reports, the .recycled dir is now settable? How? during SFSFormat? and after as PFS3 can?

Ciao

If I'm not mistaken this problem has been taken
care of in the latest version of SFS. Upgrade..

@Madgun68

i know . . .too late but probably with the MOVE option of ie DirOpus 4.xx, you should be able to move some files from the full partition to an another one.

Anyway, the better option, is to Upgrade :-)
