In article <1996052981713bryce@gothic.u-net.com>, bryce@gothic.u-net.com says... >> BTW: Have you ever used AFS? If not, then please state this, so that >> others can see that your comments are just unproved oppinions. >I have. I do. It simply *is* *not* safe. Fast - yes. Devalidation proof - >yes. Safe - not enough. Why do you think so? I am using the commercial release v2.2 (not one of those Betas available), and have found it VERY stable. I had *ONE* problem with it, and that was probably due to my DMA mask being set wrongly. I create, copy, rename & delete file frequently, and so have put it to test quite heavily. Anyone who has problems with AFS of v2.2 (before had a few bugs) has most probably set something wrong - or even not changed the settings that FFS uses! Unlike FFS, AFS does mind if the Max Transfer or DMA mask is set wrong - which is because it pushes the Harddrive performance pretty hard. v2.4 & v3.0 sound even better... -- From Christopher Handley Email: ela95csh@sheffield.ac.uk -------------------------------------------------------sig v2.12 A--------- //Amiga A1200/`030/40MHz/4Mb Fast ram |*Amiga - Back to kick ass: \\/ + PowerStation (SCSI 540Mb Hd + |AB3D II, Virtual Rally, VK Deluxe, 2.4 speed CD drive + SyQuest EZ135) |Star Fighter, Xtreme Racing, ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
