Support for creating PFS3(pfs3aio?) HDF with rdbtool #130

I think subject says it all :)

PFS3 would be a nice addition to the tool set. Currently not on my road map, but PRs are always welcome!

rdbtool can create a disk image with PFS3 as of now, using the fsadd command. Manipulating, or even formatting, the filesystem is another question of course. ;)

I think this would be a fantastic feature not least because FFS doesnt support long filenames and so many demos now have file names longer than the 30 char limit. So they simply dont work on FFS. Appreciate its a huge effort though.

For the long file names modern DOS7/8 in FFS has the long names extensions... (>=OS 3.1.4 needed) Yes, PFS3 support needs a full port of the Amiga source to a cross platform variant that supports disk images instead of direct device access. Then you can operate with these tools on partitions created by rdbtool.

I think you can close this, as amitools can create HDFs with pfs3 as long as you've got the pfs3aio file from aminet. ./bin/rdbtool -t PFS3 test.hdf create size=4Gi + init + fsadd pfs3aio + add size=100% bootable=true
