If you use PFS3 then you really don't need to worry about setting up
programs, special test partitions and random hard drive destroying
crashes.
Since getting rid of FFS I have never had a problem with my Hard
drives (2 4.3 GB SCSI III's) and have ON purpose switched off half way
through writes to show people the power of PFS, it makes PC owners
slightly sick.
Once used you'll never go back.
