PFS3AIO v3.1 Final - Page 9

Amiga1992 · 08 March 2018, 16:35

Updated on my CD32, seems to have worked! We'll see, I filled one dir with lots of tiny files and haven't gotten a problem like I did before.
Must update the machine that gave me that issue!

Thanks so much Toni.

I still habe a question regarding updating my partitions.

I updated PFS in my RDB and rebootet the Amiga. Everything fine!
I started PFS Doctor and checked all my partitions, even the 64GB one, no problems. No problems mean no reformat needed?

Yes, everything is fine if pfsdoctor does not find anything interesting, also not all errors are serious (=caused by this bug). Usual side-effect is lots of corrupted directory/file entries and lots of reserved blocks not used but allocated is reported at the end.

Bug will only happen when creating hundreds or thousands of small files quickly.

Thank you, great work Toni!!! It is good to have filesystem which I can trust.

Last question: The doctor still need to be updated?

I have the same question but want to elaborate a bit more.

How reliable is the old PFSdoctor with this new final PFS3aio? Even for repairs?
If there a new PFSDoctor being worked on, are you (Toni) working on it?
And how soon can we see a "testing" topic on it. Happy to help test basic functions etc..

Toni Wilen · 10 March 2018, 16:07

Changes in new pfsdoctor: support for >104G partitions, support for >4G file size (which is not enabled in pfs3aio v3), support NSD (original is TD64 and Direct SCSI only) and being CLI only.

Scan/Repair etc functions are 100% identical.

Thanks for all you work Tony!

I copied the pfs3aio file in L: then I updated the filesystem used in HDToolbox pointing to that file instead of the old "L: pfs3-aio-handler" file.

I rebooted my system, used pfs3doctor for a check of my partitions and everything seems fine.

I read the old post and I don't understand what you mean when you talk about the RDB. What's the RDB?

Basically, if I understand it correctly. the filesystem information that the operating system needs to understand what is on the disk and how to read/write to it is stored in RDB on the disk itself.

Meaning, once you update your file in L and update your disk with it, you no longer need the file in L really as its stored on the actual disk itself.

A new version of PFS3-AIO was just released and I wonder if I can update my A1200 by just using the Add/Update feature in HD Toolbox or if I have to reformat?

The disk was formatted with the previous version, and when I run the PFS Doctor program it tells me that my disk was formatted with “PFS II 18.5”. The new file from Aminet has version number 19. But I guess that doesn't really matter, the important part is what version is loaded from RDB at boot, right?

Is there anyway to check which version of PFS is loaded?

Hey Joel_w,

Your thread / post has been moved here where you'll get more help

For example...

Code:

Version full DH0:

Noticed something there, when I do that, I get:

Code:

pfs3aio 19.0 (26-Sep-12)
written by Michiel Pelt and copyright (c) 1994-2012 Peltin BV

Shouldn't that date have changed, as well as adding credit for Toni?

Toni Wilen · 10 March 2018, 22:11

Old C:Version gets confused with too recent dates. It isn't really 26-Sep-2012.

Is there a new version of pfsdoctor for download?

At the minute im running IDEfix for my partitions on my 70 gig HD, everytime wb loads i have to scan for my bigger partitions dh1: & dh2. Not really a big problem, but will this fix my partition issue, or do i need to redo my whole drive if i use this instead of IDEfix

Marmes · 11 March 2018, 23:36
