AmigaOS 3.2 SmartFileSystem partitions and mounter
Hello,
I have an Amiga 1200 with original 3.2 rom and blizzard 1230, i sucessfully installed AmigaOS 3.2 in the interna drive that is fully PFS formatted, i have another Amiga witt 3.1 roms that has a SFS formatted hard drive, i wanted to copy some files (tosec and archives, a lot of gigabytes) so I plugged it on the secondary channel of the IDE splitter but when I try to mount is using the mounter tool i only get the message "object is not of required type". Is there any way to mount those drives to copy the files? |

Do you have SFS installed on your system with OS 3.2? I don't believe that SFS is available out of box with 3.2.

Probably the reflex user will have problems with the hardware connection, but he could use WinUAE to transfer the data. Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 14 January 2022 at 18:38. |

The drive should be auto-mounted, not requiring any »Mounter« tool. How exactly is it connected?
You could also try running GiggleDisk to see if it recognises any partitions. |

I'm also curious about the IDE splitter - some of these need funky drivers to work properly. What drives do you have? Can you connect them both on the same cable as master and slave instead?
As was said, SFS doesn't need to be included with the OS for the drive to be mountable - it just needs to be installed in the drive's RDB, and that should be the case (but can be checked with HDToolbox). |

Well, it needs to be installed in any drive's RDB, not necessarily in its own. If the transfer drive is a second drive in its original machine and the first drive there has SFS in its RDB, the transfer drive would mount, too. But if you now move that drive to another machine which does not have SFS on its first drive, then the partitons won't mount. It's always a good idea to install file systems on all drives which use them, even if it does not seem to be necessary.

This is probably the case here, it is also possible that the FS is installed but with a wrong ID and that can cause confusions too. |

Has anyone figured this out? I am using a Scsi card reader on a AA3000+ with os3.2.1 and i cannot get mounter to mount SFS partitions,even though SFS is in the rdb and L:

SFS partitions do not need mounting, probably the problem is somewhere else, did you set the right values on HDToolBox?
