   I've been using them a lot since about 1996. AFAIK the only thing that
doesn't work as it should is relative soft links (i.e. without full path
specification). But thats is just an implementation bug which should not
affect the Linux port.

   If it is just for use on the Amiga side, go with SFS or AFS/PFS2. If you
need to exchange files, perhaps the Amiga BFFS (Berkeley FFS) port is
compatible with the Linux UFS port? Otherwise, you are stuck with AFFS or
tar/cpio/zip/lha/...
