Re: OS/2 2.1 HPFS INI Corruption Problem
Symptoms
Problems with INI corruption has been verified by users to be an HPFS
related problem on certain system configurations. This symptom would
occur on every shutdown if the system has this problem as to not to
alarm persons who do not exhibit symptoms.
FAT Stored INI files
To keep the performance of HPFS and eliminate the HPFS INI corruption
problem, this workaround was created thanks to Bill Owens. For users
who had to rely on using the /W 16-bit operation switch, this workaround
could improve performance scores.
-
Create your HPFS desktop
Create a small FAT partition (to store the INI files).
Copy the two INI files OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI to the FAT partition.
Locate these two lines in your CONFIG.SYS file:
SET USER_INI=X:\OS2\OS2.INI
SET SYSTEM_INI=X:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI
Change the path for these lines to the FAT partition:
SET USER_INI=(DRIVE):\(PATH)\OS2.INI
SET SYSTEM_INI=(DRIVE):\(PATH)\OS2SYS.INI
Shutdown and Reboot
