Hi, Can anyone help me in this case. In Aurora OS, the File system used is JFS. Since JFS is not bootable, to install the OS, we are using HPFS file system. So in this case, that is while installing Aurora OS with HPFS file sytem(LVM is used for partitioning the disk),can anyone tell me the Maximum allowable partition size? Because i am not able to partition the disk of size 32GB. Is this due to any limitation of HPFS file system driver? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As far as I can remember, the HPFS limit is 64 GB, so you should be able to partitions the disk... But your disk size may not be recognized by the os/2 IDE drivers (I don't know which ones are included in Aurora, but the old Warp 4 version needed an upgrade to support IDE drives greater than 6.4 GB). Go to http://service5.boulder.ibm.com/2bcprod.nsf (os2 component updates/installation diskettes update/greater than 8.4 GB disk support)
