- 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
