I need Hpfs386 for testing.
I have got:
- C:\IBM386FS\HPFS386.IFS
- C:\IBM386FS\HPFS386.INI
[FILESYSTEM]
USEALLMEM = YES
LANROOT = C:\IBMLAN
MAXHEAP = 512
CACHESIZE= 4096
and added to my config.sys:
IFS=C:\IBM386FS\HPFS386.IFS /A:*
but on boot it said:
HFS0019 There is not enough memory for the 386 HPFS cache and heap
pls, advise how to get it working ?
-
I am not sure but I think that HPFS386.IFS does not go together with the EARLYMEMINIT keyword in config.sys.
But if you remove that keyword, the rest of the system might run into boot problems...

Tnx, Lars
reming out EARLYMEMINIT=TRUE indeed helped

I see you found this to work, and I can certainly confirm that when I was using HPFS386 that was indeed the case.

I also used to use hpfs386 in pre-jfs times, but after the appearance of jfs it lost sense. It was a long time ago and I forgot all the details.

I still use it. OS/2 binaries are tiny so the smaller HPFS partition size limitation isn't an issue with me. Performance is also fine on modern hardware. I did play with a JFS partition once, but the backup software/agent I use (ARCserve) couldn't see the file system.
I still remember the day back in '94 when I downloaded the HPFS386 files from Compuserve, using Golden Compass, to install on my Warp 3 system's Compaq 386/20 60MB hard drive.
