- AFS is nice enough if you don't need to recover a large number of
- deleted files. DS4 can only work by salvage mode only, and is far
- from perfect with that -- it misses many subdirectories and renames
- files with other file names. On a 1gb partition, I got about an
- 80 percent recovery rate (usable) though there was no damage to the
- drive -- just deleted files (about 200 mb worth).
-
- I think that someday, AFS will become the standard for the Amiga --
- but not today. Don't use it if you value your data. You are driveing
- without a seatbelt until DiskSalv can better cope with AFS.
