Hi,

>1. first primary C: NTFS / Windows XP Pro (shrinked fm full HDD to 30GB)

>3. second primary C: HPFS / eCS or OS/2 Warp (2GB)
>4. logical D: FAT32 / Data exchanges between the 3 OS's
>5. logical E: HPFS / Applications for eCS or OS/2
>6. logical F: HPFS / Files (User data)

I don't really see any reason to install OS/2 to a primary.

>a) What partitioning is better than a single ext3+swap configuration ?

It's really a preference issue. I prefer reiser to ext3.

>b1) What about partitioning the whole HDD w/eCS 2.0 Maintenance LVM ??

Rule one of partitioning tools is don't mix and match. Rule two is use
that's compatible with everything you want to install. Lvm.exe is OK,
although I prefer dfsee.

>b2) Shall I empty the whole HDD and do a complete LVM partitioning ???

What's the benefit of this is you can do what you want without starting
over.

>at the jungle border in Malaysia ;-)

Watch out for the stray tigers.
