- I have a IDE and SCSI drive on my machine. On IDE the first partition
- is DOS/pri. The second is DOS/extended for OS/2 HPFS.
- On SCSI drive first partition is a DOS/extended divided in two. First
- is OS/2 HPFS, the second is DOS/FAT.
- The rest of SCSI are 3 partitions for Linux.
- /dev/hda1 DOS
- /dev/hda2 Extended
- /dev/hda3 Boot Manager for OS/2
- /dev/had5 OS/2 HPFS
- /dev/sda1 Extended
- /dev/sda2 Linux
- /dev/sda3 Linux Swap
- /dev/sda4 Linux
- /dev/sda5 OS/2
- /dev/sda6 DOS 16
-
- Mtools and dosfs work OK on /dev/hda1, but neither work on /dev/sda6.
- mdir gives error massage "Cannot initialize 'D:'"
- smount gives error massage "MSDOS bread failed" "Device busy" or
- something like that.
- Help is needed.
