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. .version 6.11 .author Michiel Pelt .requirements Requires OS2.0+ .distribution Shareware .address Waalstraat 328 7523 RS Enschede The Netherlands .price $15(US), DM25, £10, f25 .docs Readme.doc .described-by Fred Fish (fnf@fishpond.cygnus.com) .submittal Submitted on disk directly by the author. .contents PFS A filesystem for the Amiga.
