Subject:	SCOUG-Help: OS/2 & W2K storage on Ext2

Content Type: text/plain

For several years I have used FAT32 for sharing data files between OS/2
and Win. But FAT32 is size limited and fragile. I had used HPFS for
OS/2 only storage. That is size limited so I went to JFS. I intend to
put all storage and data on Ext2.

As of today I have W4 and W2K using an Ext2 partition. That is
supposedly able to handle any currently possible partition size and is
supposedly rugged. In W4 it acts like any other IFS and adds partition
letters as they fall. The Win driver I am using is current and has a
Volume Manager and the partitions have to be mounted. There are other
Win drivers I have not yet tried.

If there is any interest I will do a how-to.
