- YES! Personally, I don't believe that the concepts behind AFS are sound.
- It makes people feel overly safe about their data... even though there are
- no real recovery tools on the market!
-
- People, you MUST realize that if something serious goes wrong with your AFS
- partitions, your data is GONE!

- I ran AFS for a while. Yes, it improved performance. Yes, my drive never
- validated. But, I just didn't feel safe. I found myself backing up my
- drives on a daily basis instead of weekly.
-
- Eventually, I just removed AFS completey, sighed, relaxed, and went back to
- using my Amiga comfortably.
