SFS errors out of the blue
« on: December 22, 2007, 11:02:07 AM »
See sig for spec of my machine. Has been up and running with no problems for ages now. Nothing has changed as far as the spec is concerned.

I was using my A4000 this morning and when I closed iBrowse I got an error that HD0 (my system partition) was not a DOS disk. I cancelled the error, and then got the following:

"SmartFilesystem request
Volume 'OS3.9' (HD0: cybppc.device, unit 88)
Hashchain of object 4188 is
corrupt or incorrectly linked"

I cancelled it and then got the same error but for a different object number. All the while the HDD LED was constantly on. After I cancelled this error iBrowse finished closing, the HDD LED went off and everything seemed ok. I powered the machine off because I was scared :lol:

Anyone have any idea what this error means? Is there anything to worry about or is it just a warning? Do I need to do anything? Maybe a backup/format/re-copy?

TIA

No idea what that is but wouldn't take any chances.
Get a backup done as soon as you can.
In my experience, once you get errors under SFS, it can only be solved by formatting.

Thank you - that's good advice. Would you recommend totally erasing and re-partitioning, or is it sufficient to just format the existing partitions?

No need to re-partition anything. Just hit format and go. It is probably good idea to not run IBrowse on SFS.

Reformatting will be enough.
My problems do seem to occure on the partiton I use for downloads and the Ibrowse Cache.
So the above statement could well be correct.

Thanks again, will back up and reformat ASAP. What is the problem with iBrowse running on SFS partitions?

SFS is buggy. It corrupts itself on some actual usage (which browser cache generates).

I tried SFS couple of years ago. It'd commit suicide after single copy operation (it got as far as 20GB of data copied).

I had no idea SFS was so problematic. I was under the impression it was one of the best and most stable filesystems to use.

What would you recommend as an alternative?

SFS is still in development; I assume some of its bugs have been fixed in recent years?

I'm running 1.277 from Aminet currently, but I notice there is a more recent version on the developer's web page (1.58 Beta). Would it be wise to upgrade to this version?

Isn't 1.277 the latest?

PFS3 works for me.

However, some have had issues with PFS3, too.

Personally I know of single issue with PFS3: Delete large amount of data at once (say >4GB) and it throws up some warning requester and stops. However (for me at least) everything seems to be fine after reboot. If I delete the large amount of data in smaller chunks (say 2GB at a time) it works just fine.

PFS3 uses atomic commit. PFS3 includes pretty good repair tools.

Professional File System on wikipedia.

Hmm not according to this page:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/download.htm

Is this a different SmartFileSystem? Or has someone else taken over development?

It says 1999 for version 1.58.

1.277 from the other site is from 2007.
