History: Fixed wrong SFS sources link.
Line 42:
SFS is written in [[C (programming language)|C]] and was originally created and released as [[freeware]] in 1998 by John Hendrikx. After the original author left the Amiga scene in 2000, the source code to SFS was released and its development continued by Ralph Schmidt in [[MorphOS]].
 
Since May 2005 SFSobjec and SFSconfig are available under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL]] license. SFS development has now forked; as well as the original Amiga version, there are now versions for [[MorphOS]], [[AROS Research Operating System|AROS]], [[AmigaOS|AmigaOS 3]], and a version for [[AmigaOS 4]], which have different feature sets but remain compatible to each other. In addition, there is a driver for [[Linux]] to read (experimental to write) Amiga SFS volumes,<ref>{{cite web|title=Amiga SmartFileSystem, Linux implementation | url=http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/programy/asfs/asfs.txt | access-date=November 10, 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/2012042515353120210604151409/http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/programy/asfs/asfs.txt | archive-date=254 AprilJune 20122021}}</ref> [[Grand Unified Bootloader|GRUB]] natively supports it,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Features.html|title=GRUB features|work=GNU GRUB Manual 2.0|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151004034021/https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Features.html|archive-date=4 October 2015}}</ref> and there are [[free software|free]] drivers to use it from [[UEFI]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Free Software EFI Drivers|url=http://efi.akeo.ie/|access-date=19 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150319154520/http://efi.akeo.ie/|archive-date=19 March 2015}}</ref>
 
{{asof|2008}}, SFS was one of the independent filesystems still being used on Amiga computers.<ref>{{cite web|website=[[Ars Technica]]|url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2008/03/past-present-future-file-systems/4/|title=From BFS to ZFS: past, present and future of file systems|author=Jeremy Reimer|publisher=[[Condé Nast Publications]]|date=18 March 2008|quote=Many people did that, and some of the results, such as the Professional File System (PFS) and Smart File System (SFS), are still used by Amiga fans to this day.}}</ref>
