Subject: SCOUG-Help: Trap in OS2DASD...?

Is this a setup that Dani506 should support? I suspect the answer might
be yes, since the RAID functions should be hidden at the hardware level.

>The Trap: As OS2DASD loads it traps as follows:
>----------------------------------------------------------------
>Exception in module: OS2DASD
>TRAP 0000 ERRCD=0000 ERAC=**** ERLIM=0000
>EAX=0000003e EBX=2045234e ECX=fc420000 EDX=00000000
>et al.

I'd have to guess that OS2DASD is missing a limit check. Trap 0 is divide
by 0 which is not usually what it means. It also triggers when the
quotient will not fit in the result register.

I'll look at this later and see if the reason for the defect is obvious.

>Steven, I need to register the newest DFSee, but I am afraid of it.

Fear is the mind killer. As Ray notes, one needs to be careful with all
power tools. Asking questions before pressing keys is often a good
approach.

Much of what dfsee does is display-only. You are doing nothing more than
reading a book and that's unlikely to kill you. Also, there is F1 key
help for all the menus items. I'm sure you understand the English
language well enough to avoid commands that state they are going to delete
or fix something.

>All, dumpster the drive or have hope of recovering it? (It also
>contained all of my DL directories. My backup is one week old.)

You will need to spend some time with dfsee before you can make an
informed decision about this.
