Someone has seen this before os2.ini

ivan:
Have a look at the log files you may need to clean them out.  This is especially necessary if you are using samba and/or rsync to copy to your nas and you have full logging on.

roberto:
That's Ivan, they're the samba logs. I have modified the samba configuration, so that it does not generate such huge files.
Thank you

Dariusz Piatkowski:
Ivan!

Well, back in the day, one could easily do this...so my OS/2 box, with an original install dating back to (I kid you not) around 1993-4 has been upgraded many many times, moved to at least 3 different hardware platforms and subsequently, as HD space become cheap and plenty, it made little sense to re-do the install to separate out the OS from the APPS.

So yeah, big 64Gig HPFS386 partition here, this the main OS and APPS partition...with bulk of DATA stored in other partitions. I live with sins of the past, today, absolutely agree, I would never merge the two...

roberto:
I just saw this problem on another pc.

The size that the system says it has, does not match the size of the backups.
The logical thing if the disk is full is to remove files to make space.
But the question is what happens if I add more files, since the space in use DRECREASE.

This really ought to work, because OS/2 was actually supported in the days of 64 GB max partition size.

I have an experimental boot partition that is 100 GBs (actually 99.996MBs), seems to work fine the few times I use it. It has my Mozilla build environment on it and currently has 18GBs free.
Lately I've been using 2-4GBs for boot partitions. I find things are much better with JFS if there is lots of free space. 4GBs is good for testing ArcaOS, installing everything on one partition takes up about 2.5 GBs. Later I'll use my regular program/build/data partitions.
I just expanded my mozprofiles partition from 4GBs to 64GBs and especially Thunderbird is much faster. The idea is to keep fragmentation to a minimal, important with large files such as mboxes that incrementally grow.
