2.1 (2010-November-24)

Filesystem could spend alot of CPU in some situations, fixed.

There was a bug where overwriting a file using MODE_NEWFILE while the filename is different in case, would make the file unaccessible.

Setfilesize bug fixed.

Fixed a few problems when partition gets full.

Dynamic cache system improved. Streaming data from disk filled up cache completely and did not release any memory until streaming was stopped. A timeout is now used to release any cacheline that is not used for a specified number of seconds. Also various smaller improvements regarding (de)allocation.

Removed IceFileSystem_dbg. IceFileSystem nows contains all the debug already which can be activated by using FS Config. Debug flags undocumented for now though :) Ask if you need it.

Fixed freezing issue. Used a high precision timer unit which, in turn seems to cause problems when called repeatedly over longer periods of time. Now uses regular UNIT_VBLANK.

    "what's the biggest partition size it can handle ?"

    This is limited by the OS itself to < 2 TiB
    for now AFAIK. (this is total size limit of
    drives in current API). Possibly 4KiB drives
    can be used with their native sector size, then
    limit would be < 16TiB. Internally and on-disk there are no size limitations except it has to be less than 2^63 bytes.
