Instance of FileDirectory class did not understand #default

[Petr Fischer]

Too difficult task for me. Advertised features (large-scale, concurrency, large collections, high-availability and fault tolerance...) looks good. I did a few tests in Squeak and according to the feedback from other Smalltalkers on social sites, Magma is too slow for real use.
I started to learn Gemstone instead of Magma :/
