I would like to be able to read Amiga formatted floppies (and later, hard disk too), but I think the FFS filesystem is no more included in the Suse 9.3 Pro distribution (it used to be).
It looks like it is (although I have no way of testing it). Did you try running "modprobe affs"?
Something I forgot is that Amiga floppies are 880/1760K formatted instead of the common 720/1440K. I'm not even sure my floppy drive is capable of reading those disks.
I know mine aren't
modprobe ? (It return a "command unknown")
You need to be root
From what I remember from the 9.3 installation, the FFS (FastFileSystem) was not available as an option to format partitions.
No, the installation program only supports a very limited subset of available file systems. You can actually format affs partitions in 9.3, using parted. See the docs in /usr/share/doc/packages/parted, and run it and from the parted prompt run "help mkfs" to get a full list of supported file systems
