SFS repair tools
SFS repair tools
Are there any plans for recovery tools for SFS. My Workbench partirtion on my AmigaONE XE has started to develope errors and it's a bit of a pain to recover all the data to another device/partition reformat and copy it all back when it should have been a fairly trivial fix with some decent disk tools.

I got the impression that SFS is no-longer developed (succeeded by JXFS), so the answer is probably "no"

I don't think JXFS volumes are bootable. I'm pretty sure they weren't when it was first introduced. My setup dates back to 2008.ChrisH wrote:I got the impression that SFS is no-longer developed (succeeded by JXFS), so the answer is probably "no"

No, they aren't. Hopefully someone will look at fixing that, but I have no idea.RobMattin wrote:I don't think JXFS volumes are bootable.
Re: SFS repair tools
I thought an SFS partition doesn't develop errors.
I might suggest getting a new disk because your's may be dying, or lower the UDMA speed one step. My UDMA133 disk doesn't run stable at 133 so I run it at UDMA100 which seems to work just fine.
Since SFS doesn't have file content integrity checks (like FFS I believe) there could be lots of errors hiding in the file contents.
