Default Anyone working on PFS3 ??
Just wondering if anyone is working on PFS3 to enable big TB partitions for big fast drives etc.....
Just such a shame if it has now been released and no one is interested. Such a great FS.

Yes, Piru is working on it!

EDIT: Here are some posts from him about the progress:

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!

Enabling larger partitions is a bit tricky. There are some notes about it here:

See here for the full list of feature requests:

As for the progress: PowerPC native PFS3 is working on MorphOS now.

If you're really looking to work with TB sized partitions the I'd recommend SmartFileSystem as there is no limitation on partition size or HD size...

I've been using it for many years now and it has proven very stable and I have never lost one bit of data with it...

SFS is dog slow compared to PFS3 though. Also there for sure is a limitation of 2TB, so there's no use in getting a HDD larger than that.

Slow is just your opinion Piru and of course your entitled to that...

But you are very wrong in saying that is has a 2TB limitation, I suggest you download it read the docs and better still try it for yourself and you will find you are totally wrong with your 2TB limitation claim...

Looks like you don't know everything after all...

Actually it isn't an opinion but fact that can be verified by anyone.

The limitation is 2TB.

Again it's just an opinion and just to prove you wrong here's my opinion "SFS is fast"...

so there you go, you did say anyone and I being anyone have just told you that it is fast and verified by me but at the end of it all no matter what you or I say it's simply an opinion...

Now where your totally wrong is in your claim that 2TB is the limit on SFS which I can tell you straight is absolutely wrong...

And as you were forever telling others like Dave Haynie to back things up they say, well now it's your turn. Back up this incorrect/false claim of a 2TB limit or stop making such false claims as you often like to tell others...

He said it's slow compared to PFS.
One of them is faster than the other, that is a fact. It's not an opinion if there are cold hard facts.

It may be a "Fact" to Piru and yourself but I beg to differ I say SFS is fast and again it's all down to opinions, nothing else...

Strange how he can't provide proof of his absurd 2TB limit claim (which he has posted twice now), as I await here to prove him wrong with proof that there is no such 2TB limit using SFS...

And for anyone who does not want to wait on Pirus answer (if he ever gives one) then feel free to go to the authors site and download SFS and read the docs and see for themselves that Pirus 2TB Limit claim is wrong...

So, where exactly can I download a nice precompiled and user-friendly release of this new open-source version?

btw: if Piru recommends something Amiga related, I'd (personally) take his word as gospel.

Then more fool you as SFS doesn't have the filesize or HD size limitations that PFS3 does...

Default Re: Anyone working on PFS3 ??
I can't agree or disagree on the point of filesize limits, but I'm not at all interested in filesize limits. Speed on my A1200 is the most important factor and I remember that a few years back (when deciding between the two) PFS3 was the clear winner.

As for taking Piru's word on Amiga issues, I do not think that is foolish. Piru has proven over the years that he knows the Amiga system inside out. Even if he made a mistake on the filesize limit - it's simply because he's human (despite what some may think, lol)

anyway, i will not get tangled up in this.

From what i've read, the source code that was released is for version 18.3.

There was an important bugfix in 18.5 that is needed for Apache to work. Is that fix existing in the source code at sourceforge.net?
