Hi,
what differences are there between the SFS file system 1.277 and version 1.279
I searched the net but I did not find anything.

I also found the sfs version 1.279 68k this update and official?

I have seen that on amigaos final edition 4.1 CD there is only version 1.277
Thanks for every suggestion.

1.279 was a patch for 1.277 and wasn't available stand-alone, so 1.277 is the last complete package available. However, 1.279 was an official update, so if you can find it (the developer's website had disappeared last I checked), it's legitimate to use. I can't remember the details of the update however...

here the log of changes:

1.279 (23.12.2007)
AmigaOS 3.x: No longer uses TD_PROTSTATUS, should make DVD-RAM work on drivers which always report write protected for CD/DVD drives.
Changed the units for the ACTION_FILESYSTEM_ATTR tags FSA_(In|A)ctivityFlushTimeout[RW] from ticks to the one wich is currently used in the dos autodocs (ms).
Removed support for the USB massstorage Control option to allow using RDBs on removable media since it could be abused on other devices, it checks the USB massstorage device name instead now, and only in the AmigaOS4 version.
1.278 (15.11.2007)
OS4: Added ACTION_EXAMINEDATA support.
1.277 (10.11.2007)
Removed 30 char limit for volume names.
Fixed a bug in ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL.
OS4: Rebuild with GCC 4.2.2..
1.276 (8.9.2007)
AmigaOS 3.x: Fixed a bug formatting SFS\0 partitions.
AmigaOS 3.x: Now pretents to be FFS in ACTION_DISK_INFO and ACTION_INFO for SFS\2 partitions as well.
