Setup & Installation / Re: Advised ideal partition size for install ArcaOS 5.1.1
« on: August 21, 2025, 07:44:15 pm »Hi Adrian
You should consider a minimum of 3 volumes (partitions)
1] Boot - for ArcaoS you do not need a large partition, I use a 2Gb HPFS boot volume
2] Apps - Obviously the volume to install applications to, you'll probably find a 50Gb JFS volume more than sufficient
3] Data - a volume to store your created data files, browser profiles and TEMP directory, use rest of ssd formatted JFS for this volume
With the above setup it is possible to update/re-install the OS without losing any applications or data.
Hi Pete,
Is that possible?
And the settings writing in config.sys and the *.ini files?
Grts, Adrian
Regarding the too large disk problem that older apps can have I think you need to install something called 2GBFIX... It is included with ArcaOS in [install media/iso image]:\CID\SERVER\ARCAPKG\2GBFIX.ZIP
Hopefully someone else will jump in if I have pointed you to the wrong fix.
Regards
Pete
