Storage / About FAT32 and AN
« on: June 10, 2017, 11:10:01 am »
Looks like quite a few people are having probs with FAT32 as it comes with AN:
the new version that is being worked on still needs some fixes. What I fixed with SVN revision 250 was some prob with extended attributes in conjunction with the /largefiles switch which would lead to a complete system hang when opening a FAT32 drive object. Currently we are working on a problem when double clicking on a file with a program association​ (say a zip file associated with the arcview.exe utility).
We know where the resulting system hang occurs but we don't yet know why ...
For the time being the solution is to revert back to version 0.9.13 which you will find at Hobbes.
To find out about what SVN revision is delivered with AN:
open a commandine, change to directory \os2\boot and do a "bldlevel FAT32.IFS" (without the quotes).
The returned info contains a 3-digit value (apart from other info) which is the SVN revision.
If it is older then 250 you can try newer version here (as I said:not yet ready for prime time):
trac.netlabs.org/FAT32
