AmigaOS 4: Filesystem SFS 1.274
The newest version of the alternative filesystem, SFS, now supports files larger than 4 GB as well. The changes in detail:
- Replaced semaphores by mutexes if running on the July 2007 update of AmigaOS4 or newer
- Removed support for AmigaOS4 versions older than OS4 final
- Added a new format with large file support, to use it select DOSType 'SFS\2' (0x53465302) for the partitions. WARNING: It's not compatible to the older SFS2 versions, nor to standard SFS partitions (DOSType 'SFS\0', 0x53465300) and therefore tools like SFSCheck, PartitionWizard, etc. don't work on such partitions and you can't use such a partition for booting from U-Boot/SLB!
