    Due to a silly mistake from my part the PFS3 included in MorphOS 3.1 doesn't actually default to 107 character file/dir names as is suggested by the release notes.

    Fortunately this can be amended by employing PFSSetFileNameSize command for each PFS3 partition:

    Code:
    PFSSetFileNameSize pfs3volumename: 107


    My apologies for the inconvenience caused.

    Also, this issue has been fixed for 3.2 and later MorphOS releases which now truly will default to 107.

    Thanks a lot!

    May I ask what buffersize would give the best result using pfs3?

    Each PFS3 buffer is 1KB. Since MorphOS systems typically have plenty of memory, I'd recommend using the PFS3 maximum 600 buffers for each partition. With such setup one PFS3 partition thus consumes 600KB of memory.

    With EFIKA (or other low memory system) you might want to consider using less buffers, especially if you have several PFS3 partitions.
