There is no reason to expect any other response. Acronis boots OS/2
well because it was included back when OS/2 seemed like it might have a
future, it hasn't cost them much to keep it in later versions, OS/2
hasn't changed, so it still works.

But, LVM is a change. And, no mainstream company is going to spend any
money on OS/2 today.

But, in eCS, W4 works as well as it ever did, and has some new and
improved things.

Mixing OSs requires compromises. My chosen compromise is to run eCS
without LVM. Others chose different routes.

One route is to just keep using W4. So far I have found only one thing
that eCS will do that W4 will not. Both have rather large thumbnails in
a LightTable directory. If I add WPSWizard to both, eCS puts small
thumbnails in a standard directory, my W4 does not. I have not been
able to get an explanation for that.
