After a long break, a new version of Smart Filesystem has been released. The homepage points out that "SFS 4.1 is NOT compatible with previous versions of SFS and tools like SFSCheck and SFSSalv!"

If you have downloaded SFS 4.1 already: Don't use it, it has bugs.
Use the stable version 1.193 instead.

What kind of bugs?
SFS4.1 released : Comment 3 of 6ANN.lu

I`m using SFS since last year and I can say that, besides its beta status, it`s
much more solid and faster than FFS, although I use it on a partition where I
just store data like sound samples, mp3`s etc. I wonder if it`s good for
programs and WB partition, I mean if it is compatible with most, if not all
Amiga applications. For example, has the recent software still problems with the
old 2/4 GB limits? Has anyone tried it?

I think the hot potato is the stability of the most recent version.
Also I have used older version without problems. I use it about everywhere.
On my WB partition (back at OS3.1 times) I had to modify startup sequence a little bit because booting from SFS partition happened faster, but I do not remember details about that any more.
OS3.9 seems to work ok with SFS, straight out of the box.
I've not had any xGB limit problems after upgrade to OS3.5.
I currently use 20Gb HD in 4Gb partitions (only 4Gb, just to make sure...)
I've noticed that with 256kB buffer SFS became very slow when handling a folder with thousands of files. Now I use about 1MB buffer and it is fast again.
If one uses FDA, I'm not sure if SFS would be wise to use anymore, because of the issue I just mentioned (it might still need it's own buffers).
On my a4k's IDE drive, single file loading does not become noticeably faster with SFS, but loading of two files simultaneously seems to happen twice as fast as with FFS. I LIKE THAT!
Also simultaneous read and write operations happen a lot faster than before (minimum 2x as fast as before). I LIKE THAT A LOT!! ;)

I Have a 30GB HD with SFS
One of the partitions is 21Go big. t works just fine, even when completely full.
It's mainly the filesize that is still limited to 2 Gigs.
I can live with it :)

You could always use PFS3.Been using it on 1 IDE and 3 SCSI drives since it's release without any problems.
