Yes.....for safety reasons.
I had 2 hard drives, one 13Gb & the other 30Gb, all partitions were PFS3
formatted.
PFS3 has failed on both drives, and now both drives can only be used as
door-stops.
I sent an email requesting support a week ago, but I`m still waiting for a
reply. But I`m pretty sure all development has stopped so.......I`m up a
certain creek without a forward-motion-implement. :(
Yes FFS has it`s faults but at least it doesn`t wreck your HD`(s).
