Native Amiga Filesystems on macOS / Linux / Windows with FUSE

The biggest problem we have had is, that the most popular filesystem (PFS3 and its variants) and the second popular filesystem (SFS) never made it to the Linux kernel.

Just about everyone uses a flavour of PFS3 in their Amigas these days and it is a bit of a pain that we haven't been able to just mount hard disk images natively. Instead we've had to run a full Amiga emulator to transfer data to and from disk images or hard disks/memory cards, which eats into file transfer performance.

What’s the common take on SFS vs PFS? SFS came along after I sold my Amiga and I wondered which one I want to use with UAE.

PFS3 seems better maintained.

Also, I had one bad experience with SFS, but none with PFS3AIO.
