It will be inside the bootimg, but whether it'll make it to 2.8 remains to be seen. I'll try my best.

And whats up with the Pegasos, I've been hearing people are having a ton of issues on them nowadays.
I guess it's just the age. This particular board is from the first batch so it's quite old already. It works fine for some time but then the IDE bus appears to drop in/out constantly. As if the HDDs would be running out of power (but they're not, I tried with another PSU and it's the same). As I said I've already migrated to the Mac mini so it's no real issue.

Thanks, I had to add the direct PFS3 file system to get my big partition to format, all good now.

I may be crazy but this seems to solve some old trouble with my Deneb setup. I can keep my CPU caches enabled now and run Poseidon now.

I have not installed any boingbags yet and may just keep it that way.


As far as speed goes, I see 0 improvement over FFS. Experiential, not test run.

I've seen improvements with PFS3 over FFS and SFS, respectively. In particular, YAM loads folders faster and my drawer with hundreds of PNG icons displays more quickly.

One thing I have noticed, though, is if you enter "version dh0:" against a volume with FFS or SFS you will get the version of the filesystem returned, same if you use Amiga-I on the volume icon. You will not get any return on a PFS3-formatted volume.

I'm not concerned with volume size, at the moment. I have an 18GB SCSI drive in my system and use SMBFS to map a shared drive from a box running RAID. That 18GB drive is obnoxiously loud so I may replace it at some point with a reasonably sized CF with an IDE-to-SCSI or one of those SCSI-CF I've seen floating around.

When your work on PFS3 is ready, maybe you can look into addressing those limitations that still exists, and call it "PFS4" of such, so "backwards compatibility" to old PFS3 disks can be ignored with good conscience?

Well djnick, the update has been out for more than a decade. It is called MorphOS. It will solve your problems and do everything you asks for in that thread, and a lot more!

MorphOS is Amiga done right!

It looks like that'll have to be the way. Some of the ways to overcome this limitation have been discussed here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func...1&atid=2163218

I really don't like these "lets double the capacity" tricks much, as they don't raise the limit enough really. I think another level of indirection is the way to go.

Yes, do it as clean as possible...

I had to install IconBeFast, really pitiful how slow 256 color icons load on my system, I guess I must blame the Picasso II. I have right now on my new drive:

A3000 25MHz load of RAM
AOS3.9 8bit screen mode (256C) 1024x768 using Picasso96.
PFS3, of course.
The drive is a Seagate Ultra320 Cheetah.

that's true on paper..
i wasn't able to create a 4 gb partition with SFS, switched to PFS3DS and that worked just fine for me, so i definitely switched to PFS...
