I know that.

It's a known issue that been discussed many times on many mailing lists
and newsgroups. There's also FAQ items and the 2.0 readme mentions it,
IIRC.

What does your experience tell you? :-)
The IBM JFS CHKDSK marks the volume as a data volume because that's what
is was required to do by the designers.

>I'd never had a JFS volume.
Yes.

This is not a problem.

That should have fixed it. Did you neglect to add the /F switch?
BTW, recent versions of dfsee can fix non-bootable bootable JFS volumes.
>I'm guessing it's this line that I need to fiddle in eCS 1.2's

Change to * to reference the volumes you want to check. Typically, you do
want to check any of the non-bootable JFS volumes.
>I see that both JFS.IFS and UJFS.DLL are different. For now, I'm

OK. This is not a problem.

OK. A man with time on his hands.
