That was my educated guess.

What I am saying is that I don't think it will because the installer will
assume the JFS support is already there. Of course, I'm just making an
educated guess here. It won't hurt to just do the copy, change the volume
letters and try the migrate. You'll know right after the phase 1 reboot
if more is needed.
For bootable JFS to work, several components need to be in place
- the JFS boot loader on track 0
- the proper settings in the BPB
- the bootable JFS version of OS2BOOT
- the bootable JFS version of UJFS.DLL
- a compatible version of JFS.IFS
- a compatible config.sys setup
Your eCS2.0 install put all of these in place. My procedure does the same
thing while preserving the other parts of your 1.2 installation.
There are other ways of getting to the same end-point, but they all
require about the same level of effort. For example, you could
- Format volume G: as JFS
- Copy eCS 1.2 from C: to G:.
- Hide C:.
- Rename G: to C:
- Run sysinstx to install boot files on JFS C:
- Copy reqired versions of UJFS.DLL and JFS.IFS
- Edit config.sys as needed

Probably more like thousands. I could have done a better job of cutting
down the total quantity that got out the door, but that's hindsight. If
this ever happens again, I know what to do to minimize the damage.
Everyone needs to keep in mind that I am the webmaster/postmaster only by
default. It's not my day job.

Hopefully not. I'm guessing there was something in the message that
triggered the forward or we would have been seeing these forwards before
now.
