Is SFS2 completely useless (unnecessary) under OS 4.0 Final?
No, but it has some bugs, at least ACTION_GET_FILE_SIZE64 (IDOS->GetFileSize()) is broken, and it doesn't support the new directory scanning API of AmigaOS4 final yet, only the 64 bit functions which were in Update4 already.
But even if it wouldn't have the bugs and missing features, for normal users it's of course still useless since there is next to no software which supports files > 4GB, but it was never for normal users anyway: It's for developers to be able to test the 64 bit support they added in their software, but that didn't happen (yet?) AFAIK. Except for lha and DvPlayer which support large files now, and of course some of my own software, for example a DVD burning tool which doesn't support image files > 4GB would be quite useless
As long as there is no AmigaOS software which supports large files the large file support in dos.library and file systems like SFS2 will stay useless
