New filesysbox filesystem port being worked on

Using a --with-minimum configured libxml2 and getting rid of libpthread the executable size is down to ~2.9 million bytes. As boxfs uses only some hashing functions from libxml2 there is no need to link with a fully featured version of this lib.

I really don't know what this sentence is supposed to mean (and neither did Google translate) but I do want to make something clear.

I obtained permission directly from the author (Leif Salomonsson) to work on filesysbox.library ages ago. In fact, at one point I was looking into hiring Leif to work on the AmigaOS port himself. However, Leif is a very busy guy and doesn't have an AmigaOS system. I was lucky to have Fredrik come along at the right time to pick up the project.

@all
We are just working on the last piece of the puzzle to get FUSE, NTFS, Ext2FS, etc. released. It will all be distributed via AmiUpdate and I'll blog about it when the time is right. There are a few dependencies on OS components which have been blocking the release.

Thank you!

Thanks :)

Very cool! Might have to sign up for a box account now :)

Keep up the great work,

BoxNetFileSystem, Ext3FileSystem, FileSysBox.Library,
What else would be requested for the "Requested"/"Developing"/"Testing"/"Release" lists ?

With the latest updates...

It's here!!!

USB and HDD with NTFS works as plug and play now, read/write access

Awesome work, thanks to all involved

There's a new blog entry too:
FUSE and NTFS for AmigaOS

So...waiting for the first speed benchmark comparisions

What about the "tools suite", what kind of tools?

On my peg2 internal usbs:

copy of single file (10.7 mb .avi file) from RAM: to usb-stick-NTFSVolume: 12 seconds. Crossdos (so FAT) copy the same file for 26 seconds. I.e. ntfs in more than 2 times faster there.

copy many small files like "copy all ram:devs usbvolume:" (ram:devs for me 20,3 mb of size, 20 directories and 514 files) : 6 minutes 17seconds. While crossdos (so FAT) there still faster, and do the same copy in 1 minute 2 seconds. In other words ntfs there about 6 times slower.

To summorize:

If you use big files: ntfs is better
If you need bunch of small files : crossdos is better

Also, you may not notice, but there is also Ringhio support added: i.e. when you write something on your ntfs usb stick for example, and remove it no safely, ntfs handler will bring you a tasty ringio window mean "fixing is going on", so you visually will know what wrong and what happens.



I didn't make through comprasion with morphos's ntfs currently, will do it later just in sake of tests.

WOW, Thank you!!!

Thanks man, its lovely, finally in all these long years i wanted it and you folks make it happen. Tried and both usb stick and harddrive worked :D

@Kas1e

Thanks for explanation on speed fat vs ntfs

@salass00


thank you very much indeed !

WOW, very nice to have the possibility to access ntfs
in read&write mode.
Now it would be nice to have the same possibility for
Mac formatted drives at least in read-only mode

Excellent! My external hard drives now work perfectly. Suddenly my movies and videos can be accessed on my Amiga.

This is good and important, thanks :)

Dupe.

What we need now desperately is proper network support distributed as standard - none of this Samba lark which is no longer supported elsewhere.
