- This is not any help, but I've been using AFS since it first came out - I was
- a registered PFS user, never used it on HD:s though - and beside from a couple
- of small mishaps (like files that cannot be deleted :( ) I haven't had any
- problems.
-
- OK, not entirely true. I once tried to upgrade to a new beta version (16.15 or
- something like that) WITHOUT reformatting - and when I rebooted the partition
- was gone. AAAAAHH!
-
- Well I got it back - 10 solid hours of reorganizing the other partitions for
- needed space, and heavy use of diskvalid to find all the files after switching
- back to the old, "trusty" version.
-
- Needless to say I'm anxiously awaiting the next real version...
