pfs3 on winuae ?
 

can i use pfs3 with winuae?
hdf ? or true amiga hard disk

PFS3 doesn't work on winuae on HDFs but SFS yes it works

PFS3 is optimized for speed on real amigas....no sense to install it on winuae cause sfs works very well and fast

Right..... and why shouldn't it work? You sure you know what are you talking about?

I tested PFS3 long time ago on winuae and not worked

but with all modifications you have made maybe now yes it works

you have the correct answer


anyways I think no make sense on winuae cause SFS is fast there
but on a real amiga I recommend PFS3 for speed

also PFS3 gets about 10-15 % of the partition for cache or something like that...

you got for example a 100mb partition but when formatted with PFS3 you get only 90mb for data...you lost some diskspace

I don't care how PFS3 works but I get annoyed when someone says "it does not work. the end." Sorry :)

I use PFS3 since the beginning when HDFs in RDB mode appeared and it always worked. I never used the "conventional HDF with file system loaded by WinUAE" method, though.

the serial number was in the doc because i don't find my doc !!!!:crying

Is it more fast ?

WinUAE is so fast that I don't notice any difference. I didn't do any benchmarks, though.

there is no interest to install pfs3 then ?:confused

I am not sure what kind of answer you expect. I have installed it, it works and I am happy. I cannot tell you if you should be interested or not. If you are interested, then try it out, it does not hurt.

Speed isn't the only "feature" between filesystems..

pfs3 is ultrafast....much faster than sfs or ffs
but on a real amiga

on winuae I don't know cause I haven't tested it....like thomas writed...winuae is so fast....maybe on winuae doesn't make much diference

Speed isn't the only advantage of PFS3. It has features to limit files that continuously grow, such as log files. It also allows you to recover deleted files. Not forgetting that it is an atomic filesystem, so a crash during a disk write shouldn't trash your partition. If you want these features, use PFS3.

SFS also has similar features and also is still under development. There is no clear "winner".

(and under emulation you get all those features automagically if you use directory emulation)

I never said there was.
