NetWare 286 v2.1x File Service Process Patch Limitations
A patch to obtain additional DGroup memory for File Service Processes
in NetWare 286 v2.1x is distributed through Novell Technical Support
on a limited basis. This Dynamic Memory Pool 1 patch is explained in
the article "286-Based NetWare v2.1x File Service Processes: The Final
Word" (NetWare Application Notes, June 1990).
The patch will take memory from the Dynamic Memory Pool 1, which is
used by NetWare for drive mappings and other operating system
functions. Use of the patch is not recommended if the system's
Dynamic Memory 1 Peak Used is 2 KB less than the Dynamic Memory 1
Maximum (this information is available in
Fconsole-Statistics-Summary).
This patch is known to cause problems with remirroring large drives.
If you must use this patch and cannot remirror your large drives (this
is most frequently seen with multiple 650 MB drives), there is a
work-around. Boot the server with an "un-patched" operating system;
as it is brought up, the drives will remirror. Then bring the server
down after the remirror process is complete and boot it up again with
the "patched" operating system.
This Dynamic Memory Pool 1 patch, in light of these limitations,
should be considered a last resort in obtaining additional File
Service Processes.
