- Professional filing system for the Amiga
- .description
- The standard AmigaDos filesystem (OFS) is very slow. Commodore has
- tried to improve the performance of their filesystem a number of
- times. Workbench 2.0 added the fast filing system (FFS), and now,
- with Workbench 3.0, we have the fast filing system with directory
- caching (FFS-DC). This makes directoryscan faster but writing to
- disk and directory-operations like delete and rename are slower than
- ever. This made me decide to write a filesystem that does better.
-
- High performance
- - write: 3-5 times faster
- - read: 50% faster
- - directoryscan: 10-20 times FFS, 3 times FFS-DC
- - delete/rename/protect etc: 10-20 times faster
-
- Other features
- - full AmigaDos compatibility
- - upto 10% more data on a disk
- - better faulttolerance
- - parallel access almost without performance loss
- - disks NEVER get invalidated
-
- Both double density and high density floppy disks are supported.
- This version of the filesystem also supports small harddisk
- partitions. Partitions up to 31MB are supported. A version for
- larger partitions is under development and will be available to
- registered users only.
