have you ever set the FNSIZE=107 option during the PFS format?

Otherwise you will have only 32 char available

Not sure. I bought it from AmigaKit some time within the last year, but I don't know whether it was brand new when I got it.

I started a backup using ABackup but I'm not sure I like the idea of using an app to back up - I'd rather use LHA. Would somebody mind giving me the correct LHA command to back up a whole partition including all subdirectories and keep all protection bits etc? I know I should check the command line options and figure it out for myself, but I would rather not take any chances if I'm backing up and formatting.

@moto:

I use lzx for such backups.  Of the top of my head I cannot remember the command line options, but you'll want to recurse into directories, maximum compression (if you need it,) and retain all file attributes.

I make sure that my current working directory is the parent of the directory tree I want to backup, and use #? as my filename pattern.

Follow my advice and you'll probably have to play with a couple of commands to get it right.  I'm sure someone will give you something more definitive... I hope!  :-D

[EDIT]: Also, test your archive when you're done creating it.  That way you can be sure that the file will extract and that you got all the files you were expecting.  Playing with the file mask has always been my Achilles heel, as in some programs #? seems to ONLY get files and no directories.

Cheers LoadWB. Will look in to the syntax of LZX.

Typically SFS seems to topple over when used a bit more heavily. Say, it isn't perhaps that typical to try to copy 100GB data to the partition at once.

Ouch.  I've only ever had about 2GB of Amiga files in any partition (mainly because backing-up was a right royal pain).

I would suggest discussing it with the current maintainer of SFS, but I assume you already tried that...

@Piru

i have a doubt about this thing:

in a mixed enviroment like mine on an A4000, with UWSCSI on CSPPC and an IDE on the internal IDE port, is better to use the same MaxTransfer value for all partitons (UWSCSI and IDE) or not?

mine are:

Mask: 0xFFFFFFFF

MaxTransfer: 0x7FFFFFFF

I have had the same SFS problem with IBrowse that Harry mentions.  Basicly, I now have a FFS system drive + internet utilities, and the rest of my partitions are SFS.  

I'll probably try PFS3 some day.  The unrecoverable problems I've had with SFS in the past make it worth the price tag.

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).

Shame on you, I would have expected you would have been able to read version numbers.

What is bigger, 58 or 227?

But 277 is bigger than 58. That's how you should read it.

Right, it should read 1.277 / 1.058 IMHO.

@AMC258
That makes more sense. 1.277 is not bigger than 1.58 in decimal. Taking the number after the decimal point and treating it as a separate number and comparing it with the number after the decimal point of the other version number seems a bit perverse to me.

Version numbers are not decimal numbers.

They're version dot revision [dot subrevision].

Each number should be considered separately. If previous number is the same, look at the next one.

Precisely why the decimal point should not be used for that convention.  Nor the comma for the same reason.

Commodore got it right twice:  2.04 and 2.05 :-)
