IceFileSystem 1.13 released

IceFileSystem is 64bit disk filesystem supporting a high number of useful features, such as...



64bit file/partition/extent sizes (actually very close to 2^63 bytes).
No self imposed fragmentation of large files unless there is not enough
contigious space available.

All metadata on disk is checksummed.
This means any errors on disk will be detected a lot quicker.

Meta level jornalling. Journalling makes operations to disk atomic.

Hardlinks (directory and file), softlinks, notification, examine all,
record locking, file comments. Fully supported.

Supports almost any 2^x media sector sizes.
Filesystem layout on disk is not dependant on a specific underlying sector size.
Filesystem may however place data on disk so that it is optimal for the
sector size used.

Filesystem does not get slower for larger partitions (scales very well),
or when heavily fragmented.

No limit in # of files/dirs in partition/dirs.

Handles removable media.

Optional recycled dir.

Supports automatically truncated log files.

Supports filesystem logfile.

Wastes only 128k (and preallocates another 128k for meta space)
for filesystem administration data, regardless of partition size.

Dynamic handling of cache memory.
Memory is given back to system when not used.

    Basically supports larger partitions and larger files.. rest is icing on cake :)

    Yes, can boot system partition on Peg/efika.. on Mac's I think
    booting is not possible because OF does not know RDB and filesystem is not on boot-image. But it should work on a second hard disk not used for booting partitioned with RDB.

    Or as Piru points out below, a mountlist can be used for MAC partitioned (or MBR) drives instead of using RDB.

    As far as I can tell it should be possible to use IceFileSystem even with Mac and single Mac partitioned hard drive, assuming you can create mountlist(s) for the partition(s) in question. I think Mounter should be able to create the mountlists (up to the point of manually adding the correct filesystem keyword).

    kewl! thx! :)

    once its freeware it could be implemented to morphos :-)

    any benchmarks between sfs and icefs anywhere?

    Awesome, you "finished" it, I hope you get lots of registrations (even after you pass 300 you should accept donations as this feat surely deserves it).

    Nice touch with the rollover file support, that was one of my fave features of PFS. ;)

    Nice!

    This will fit the bill nicely as my main storage partition filesystem :-)

    Will get the keyfile later this week when I have a bit more time.

    Thanks man, and congratulations on the culmination of 3 years work - it must be nice to have it off the project pile at last :-)

    "any benchmarks between sfs and icefs anywhere?"

    Please don't start benching just yet.)
    Have already gotten reports that points to
    some bug slowing down atleast writing for now.

    A bug has been found in version 1.13 that can cause the latest modifications to disk to be lost.. This will be fixed for next version, along with other minor bugs. Next version will come soon.
