Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Slow autocheck

Content Type: text/plain

I am getting varied behavior from JFS and HPFS autocheck on different
machines. I do not use JFS on a boot partition but I do use it for
storage. I have found HPFS to be limited to something much less than
100G partitions, but JFS well behaved on 500G.

All machines have the following lines.
IFS=D:\OS2\BOOT\JFS.IFS /LW:5,20,4 /AUTOCHECK:*
IFS=E:\OS2\HPFS.IFS /CACHE:2048 /CRECL:4 /AUTOCHECK:*

My storage box runs W4 on FAT16 and that drive also has some FAT32. The
primary storage drive is a 500G split into a 100G and two 200G JFS.
There is no HPFS. When JFS loads it checks the three partitions,
displays five lines of text for each, and does it so fast that unless I
insert a delay I can't read it. HPFS loads instantly and moves on.

This - my online machine - has FAT16, FAT32, HPFS and JFS. W4 and RC4
load instantly and report nothing.

My primary machine has FAT16, FAT32, HPFS but no JFS. With W4 both JFS
and HPFS load instantly and report nothing. With eCS RC4 both JFS and
HPFS takes just over a minute to look at the second drive which is all
HPFS. Neither report anything.

What is to be expected?
