Partitioning
The following are limitations for OS/2 on any computer system:
■
Any FAT partition cannot be larger than 2 GB (2048 MB) in size.
■
It is recommended that you do not exceed 8 GB for an HPFS boot
partition. Exceeding this size makes it possible for the OS/2 system files
to end up larger than 8 GB on the disk. This prevents the ROM from
loading the system files at boot time.
■
This driver has been tested with HPFS partition sizes of up to 40 GB. Do
not create partitions exceeding 40 GB on any of the RAID volumes
when running OS/2.
OS/2 may allow the creation of partitions beyond these boundaries; adhere to
these limits, however, to ensure proper functionality.
