Hello all,
I've recently updated my WSeB machine to the 1.104a SMP kernel and JFS14105 - with no issues - which has resolved various issues in trying to chkdsk the drive and seems to have made the JFS partition more stable.
Now... I am about to attempt to update my eCS v1.2MR machine, but I noticed that the readme that came with the jfs14105.exe package says it is not for eComStation (though it does not specify a particular version - is it talking about the 2.0RCs? the 1.0 or 1.1 releases? the 1.2 releases? or any eCS install?), and that the update from the eComStation site should be used instead (with a link that is no longer valid for finding the JFS update there).
The problem I have is there is no such update on the eCS site that I can find (or perhaps it is rolled up in another update?). As I am running into many of the same problems on the eCS machine as I was on the WSeB machine, (with JFS), I am pretty sure I need to update JFS somehow.
Does anyone know if there really is a reason this update cannot be used? Or did the creators of this update just wish to send people to the "official eCS" update instead? If a particular "eCS Friendly" update is required, does anyone know where it is located?
Thanks,
Robert
Side note... I found the OS2MT package to be the simplest way to update the kernel and back up the updated files. A lot easier than trying to do it manually (and changing the file attributes and such to properly perform the backup and the upgrade).
