I just upgraded to WB 2.0 and was very proud of myself having done the
whole thing in less than 2 hours. After running it for several days I
decided to do a backup, format and restore as per instructions to take
advantage of the new fast file system. Everything seems to work fine
but I can not see any improvement in file performance. I have removed
references to the old fast file system as per instructions. How can one
tell if the new systen is in effect ? or was I expecting too much ?
Thanks,
Dietmar.

| 5263.1 | Formatted disks? | JAYMES::BELL | Wed Dec 11 1991 10:33 | 10 | |
You might be expecting too much, if you followed the instructions
right. As long as you have a Commodore-type SCSI 6 drive, all you had
to do was back it up onto 2.0 formatted disks (that's important), then
re-low level format your hard drive.
GVP disks are real smart, too, their ROMS can handle any type of
filesystem you want. But as for the back up (might be the problem),
the disks have to be formatted in 2.0.

To check it, try "version dh0:" (or whatever your HD is called). That should report the version number of the filesystem code that drive is running. If it's 37.xxx, you've got the 2.0 code installed. It might take a slightly different invocation of the version command than I listed, but the numbers re right. What tools did you use to do the backup/restore (I don't have the instructions handy)? That might make a difference. <mike | |||||
| 5263.3 | HD Backup WB2.0 | TROOA::KUPKE | Wed Dec 11 1991 13:17 | 5 | |
I used the backup program that is now standard with WB2.0. It works
well and is straight forward in its user interface. It is not as fast
as some other non CBM products but at least it is compatible with WB2.0
and it was free(sort of).
