How to get ride of HPFS386

<< < (3/5) > >>

Andi B.:
I've no processes in my config.sys which as mentioned here http://www.edm2.com/index.php/The_Config.sys_Documentation_Project/OS/2-eCS_Commands#PROCESSES should give the default of 256. OTOH Theseus says QSV_MAXPROCESSES = 1025.

Threads is currently set to 1024. More than 300 threads are running currently although the system does not have much to do now.

Will try with processes=256 and threads=512.

AOO / HPFS386 - I do not think they are related too. Only wanted to kick off HPFS386 to be sure before I create a ticket. But seems to be not that easy :(

Pete:
Hi Andi

Did you use SYSINSTX after swapping IFS's? - I have needed to use this when swapping IFS's in the past.

Regards

Pete

I don't like to switch the FS of current installation which is JFS. But only want to REM out HPFS386 and after that enable HPFS. But the first part - reming out HPFS386 - leads to the problems booting my current main JFS boot partition.

ivan:
Have you removed/renamed the HPFS386 directory and the HPFS386.ini?

I still think that you will have to reformat the partition to go back to just HPFS.IFS from HPFS386.IFS.

Whenever you have troubles with memory.

Seems impossible to me. How should I start Theseus when it did not even finish booting?

I even made the only HPFS partition on this system invisible (removed drive letter) but the main system does not boot anymore from it's JFS boot partition when reming out the (for JFS boot) needless HPFS lines.

There must another entry in config.sys which must be deleted beside the mentioned above IFS and CACHEFS386 lines. Or there is a timing problem which ends up in out of memory cause JFS boot is faster without HPFSxxx IFS driver.
