    Woah,

    Got one of my SFS partition to be full. Then decided to delete some files, but for anything I try to delete, it says it can't delete because disk is full !!!

    Anyone has a solution to this problem? A kind of delete command that would force at least 1 file to be deleted?

    Leo told me this was a known SFS bug and may have been fixed internally. Or perhaps some fix is available somewhere? or at least will be in MOS 1.5?

    Thanks,
    Fred

    You must truncate one large file on your partition. Look for SetFileSize command from Aminet.

    SFS can't delete file because there isnt enough room for new admin blocks. Truncating file frees some spare blocks and cures your problem.
    1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1

    I think that these problems must be fixed on SFS, this problem is painful...
