OK, I didn't mean to. I was surprised when I saw that eCS 1.2 was
checking my new JFS volume. Does the older JFS code mess up the
"bootable" nature of the volume?
I guess eCS 1.2 just installed JFS support without asking, even though
I'd never had a JFS volume. I did look at the JFS volume from eCS 1.2,
and copy a file or two from Ray's earlier response onto the JFS volume.
That all seemed to work, though I still got the failure message.

I gave this a shot from the management console, then rebooted, and I
still got the failure.

I'm guessing it's this line that I need to fiddle in eCS 1.2's CONFIG.SYS:
IFS=C:\OS2\JFS.IFS /LW:5,20,4 /AUTOCHECK:*
Would I just remove the last part (/AUTOCHECK:*)?
That is what I did, and I no longer see the CHKDSK messages for the JFS
volume.
I see that both JFS.IFS and UJFS.DLL are different. For now, I'm
leaving eCS 1.2 versions in place.
I've reinstalled eCS 2.0 rc4, so I'll see if I can keep it up and running.

As always, thanks for the help! This seems like a trap that I just fell
right into. Maybe there needs to be a warning about adding eCS 2.0 to a
PC where eCS 1.2 still resides. I didn't see any warnings in the README
for 2.0....
