a 512GB limit until a few years ago for example but on eCS 2.x you should be OK with all this. Having said that I've never booted an OS/2 system from a disk of that size although I did have a Netcell RAID card in my OS/2 system for a long time with a 640GB array and that was fine - but I didn't boot from it. > But usual questions arise:

running with a Core2Duo E6850 3GHz processor and a 5 year old motherboard here and it's still plenty fast enough. > Is good time to up-grade, considering work to do :-)
I just put a spare Crucial m4 128GB SSD into my main OS/2 machine and it has > - When ? Upgrading take a lot of time to prepare all OS involved > - What ?

I went from an LSI MegaRAID Express 500 hardware RAID controller with 128MB cache RAM and a pair of Fujitsu 15k rpm 73GB disks in RAID 1 to the SSD and my boot time has decreased from ~2 minutes to 22 seconds. It's similarly speedy in general use though it's really too soon to tell how reliable it will be and how it will slow down over time due to the lack of TRIM support in OS/2. SSD prices have pretty much halved here in the UK in the last 6 weeks! I paid only a little more for a new 256GB SSD two weeks ago than I did for this 128GB one in January 2012. > For example, DFSee report 35 "bad spots"
That fits fairly well with the 31 pending sectors reported by SMART - it found another 4 while it was scanning. It's definitely on its way out and you should be backing up your critical files on a regular basis in case it dies completely. > In other event, I have problems to update an SVN directory in J: You will always get this if you run against a JFS partition with files that are > partition, recently prepared for ecs21 tests with JFS > ( my daily work is with ecs20, with these computer+HDD installed around > 3.5 years ) > Playing with DFSee:DFSCHECK J:, it report problems with files in those > An ecs20 CHKDSK J: show info included below, with main fact:
open. If using it with the /F switch refuses to run because it's in use then any report without /F will be unreliable and report problems that don't really exist. OTOH, if you are running it with /F and it is really checking it then you do have a problem. -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
