Performance - more than chkdsk I presume increased responsiveness of
system?

Is the performance because part of the system files are on a JFS volume?
Or can the non-boot volume with some of the system files be HPFS? I
assume that JFS would be faster than HPFS.

Well my Windows box is now built - gonna do a quicky install of eCS 1.1
for some more notes. At the end of April, I plan to build a test eCS 1.1
box and image the boot partition with dfsee so that I can safely test the
above without getting into (too much) trouble. Each OS a different box -
I am learning.

Besides moving part of the eCS boot files to another volume, what other
"few simple tweaks" are we talking about? Thanks.

Regards.
