Ok, I must have missed a patch or download somewhere: 8.Workbench:Devs> version L:SmartFilesystem full SmartFilesystem 1.233 (09/16/2004) AmigaOS4 PPC
That doesn't look like v1.241 as referenced in the patch file. Is there somewhere to download the full OS4 version? Could that be why some people's are failing (was it replaced and accidentally downgraded with pre-release 3?)? | No idea why there is a SmartFileSystem in L:, you can delete it. The one in SYS:Kickstart from update3 is version 1.241. |

| Off- the version in kickstart was earlier, so I sanity checked the rest of the file versionds as well- everything else was fine, so no clue.
But, backed it up, copied from the OS4 u3 archive, then patched, and copied the resulting file back over, all seems well so far.
Umm, BTW do NOT try to use the WOS binary- first time I saw an actual Guru Meditation error (NOT GR) on OS4
PS- I was just trying it to test, not to use the resultant patched file (from the WOS bin ) _________________ Are we not done with the same silly arguments and flames yet??!

| So with this new version, im yet to upgrade yet but if I increase my blocksize of sfs partitions greater than 512 will it improve the speed of them? Cheers _________________ A1XE G4 800mhz,512mb,Radeon9200,SonyDRU-510A and 800a,ESI Juli@, Sil680, WiFi.

I've uploded a new OS4 version of SFS with 2 old workarounds enabled again which fix the Workbench and ContextMenus problems.

| "Do I have to do something else (play with MediaToolBox or reformat my partition) ?"
Yes, you need to set the Identifier (in media Toolbox "Select filesysteem/edit details", custom) to "53465300" which then comes up SFS\00. And it's a nice pink colour.
I only found that out when I read the instructions for the 68k version. Nothing on the SFS website.
Be careful to back everything up before you start to fiddle! Last edited by Stephen_Robinson on 14-Jul-2005 at 09:20 PM.

| I done it this way. I renamed the old to something like SmartFileSystem1.241/5 and the new one to SmartFileSystem. Started media toolbox, choosed edit filesystem, choosed update existing filesystem and it worked.
Or should i not do it this way ? |

| i bet that the most of SFS related problems on AOS4, are due this error.
Nobody has read Toaks how-to install SFS on intuitionbase.com?

If the RDB version is the same as, or older than, the one in SYS:Kickstart it's ignored and doesn't cause problems.

But I don't know if it will be supported later and someone else will add the support for it. |

No, because no one knows about it. Why not put a link on the download page? _________________ Rage quited 29th May 2011

| I've just tried this SFS on my second drive (after backing up, blah blah), and quite frankly if this Amiga gets any faster, I simply won't be able to keep up with it!
Should I mention what happens to Windows after a few weeks of fiddling about with strange programs does to the speed, hawh, as that would be rather churlish.
But I must ask, my memory seems to have dropped a bit, down to 430,000,000 from around 480,000,000. Not inself a problem, but is this due to SFS?
I've got a Micro with 512 memory, and those figures are aproximate on reboot. Last edited by Stephen_Robinson on 15-Jul-2005 at 06:45 PM.

Currently it's only used by SFS (if you don't have SFS partitions diskcache.library isn't used and doesn't allocate memory) and the cache size isn't configurable yet. If you want more free RAM instead of fast disk speed (on SFS partitions) you can remove diskcache.library from your kicklayout. |

| No, I think that's resonable, less memory, more speed. It's nice to see some value in the 512 stick of memory I bought, it's not like I'm running out of memory to be honest! My fault for not doing more constructive things with it I suppose! _________________ Rage quited 29th May 2011
