- 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.
- I used all the knowledge I gained from my computer science study to
- make it as good as possible. The professional filing system (PFS)
- has the following features: High performance, write: 2-3 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. This version of the filesystem is for
- floppy disks only. Both double density and high density disks are
- supported. A version suitable for harddisks is being worked on and
- will be available to registered users only.
