Thanks for the testing. I always wanted to discuss more about Win-OS/2.
I still don't know if it is only an issue of a big HDD, or the format HPFS vs JFS. Or is it a mix of both?
Do you think a ticket should be open to Arca Noae? Do we have enough information to report some bug/limitation?
Can the 2GBFix issue be related to this ticket too?

Maybe, but given that V2GB lets DOS programs see a negative amount of space on the drive, I'd say something changed in ArcaOS that prevents both 2GBFix and V2GB from "working properly". In a perfect world, ArcaOS would already include a driver to make programs in DOS / WinOS2 see just their 2GB or free space without users having to fiddle with these older programs.

V2GB seems to be broken on AOS, or perhaps AOS 5.1+. The negative sizes are expected without limiting the size. If you go to a DOS prompt and do a dir, the DOS session ends. Go to the properties and disable it, DSK_LIMIT_ENABLE, then DIR works.
In popuplog.os2 I see,

JFS.IFS

Which might explain Martin's result with JFS.
Going to have to do some more experimenting and talk to Arca Noae, JFS shouldn't crash the PMSHELL. At least it didn't trap.

Did you look in popuplog.os2?

I will retest on HPFS after disabling that DSK_LIMIT_ENABLE...

Nope, still negative space and LSS not wanting to install. At least it does not crash the WinOS/2 session...
