PFS3AIO v3.1 Final

[xboxown]

Hey Toni Wilen,

Are there plans to optimize and perfect the larger partition support and remove it from the test phase and increase the size limit to more than 1 TB? I am just curious.

Right now I have a 232 GB partition (heheh love every bit of it) and I believe it is a power issue I could be wrong but when I transfer large data on it or leave it idle the hard drive make the TICKING sound as if it is powered off and I get huge error message. I have to reboot the system before it comes back again. My thinking my power supply cannot constantly give it full power juice all the time so there is a power drop or something. I am going to switch the power supply configuration and have my power supply get full power from the wall (power supply) and my DVD reader get's it's power from the Amiga power supply. But I was thinking something more different. I was thinking of having both devices get their own power separately by their own power supply. I am intending to do that.

I love having large partitions...especially when I don't feel guilty feeling it with PDF files, ROM images and applications/games.

I love using my DVD player to watch movies on them and transfer datas through it.

Explanation is still the same: it won't become official until someone makes good enough test program (that automatically fills the partition and does all kinds of file accesses and also checksums each file). Only if it survives multi-hour testing of this kind: it can be considered safe

Max partition limit is already about 1.6T. There are 4 "limits": original ~5G (1k "smalldisk"), original ~104G (1k), new 411G (2k) and 1.6T (4k). Internal index block size doubles each time max size increases.

Do I still need a patched scsi device to use PFS3AIO with a 64GB Card, If So which version, also same question for SFS.

It depends.

See http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=61666 "Smart ATA devices with correct (but 'illegal') CHS values"

Will there be a final repair tool, like old one? I loved it.

Where does one get 'setfnsize' for setting the filename lengths from?

Kind regards,

Francis

Any noobs who want to do this for partitions less then 5gb in size , just extract pfs3aio from Toni`s download then put it into L: directory.
Then fire up HDtoolbox, then >, Partition Drive >select your first partition then> tick Advanced Options, >Update > input L: pfs3aio into dialog box > Click OK ( if successful it will change to Ver19 in the window) > Click OK > Save changes to drive.

Your done..enjoy

Thank you

Silly question but how do i get sfsdoctor to run? it just says unable to open your tool

suddenly getting lots of diskblock errors etc on my DH1 partition , so i restored from a backup image, and reinstalled some of the missing games and its happened again, but i cant seem to get sfsdoctor to run.

I have replied in your other Thread about Hard drive errors, please check the info I have put there

You got the wrong tool or you wrote the wrong thing, SFS is a different filesystem.

He knows..he meant to write PFS

Can PFS3 be mounted in Linux or is that affs only ?

[Jope]

No PFS3 driver (kernel or FUSE) exists unfortunately.

Nonetheless, even if this helps it still seems to be an ancient pfs3 bug. Woukld be great if this could be fixed.

I can confirm after disabling Deldir the problem is gone. So Deldir is the culprit.

[Toni Wilen]

Hopefully this can be reliably duplicated by some kind of test program that creates lots of files, waits a bit, then attempts to delete them. Without test case it is too annoying to debug..

Hi Toni

I see in the git repository there are some commits since the last release on Aminet including fixes from upstream.

As I'm in the process of setting up a new 3.1.4 install doing research I read that a pfs3aio bug was found in 3.1.4 testing, so I was wondering if there is a newer pfs3aio binary with those changes available?

What benefit, if any, is there of putting pfs3aio in rom? (I am making my own custome Kickstart Roms)

Also are there any gotcha's I shuold be aware of when using PFS with a FastATA IV on A1200?

Thanks in advance.
