The best way to avoid any such problem is to make your OS/2 partitions
HPFS. They should then become close to untouchable by wayward WIN-

There used to be a list of DOS defrag programs that knew how to respect the
EAs. I'd rather let the defragger in Graham or Gammatech take care of this,
regardless of whether the partition is FAT or HPFS.
