Admin Note.

Lastnight, the main UPS blew its output stage,
tonight, we had a power failure for over 1 hour.
Yep, UPS's are wonderful ;-)

I haven't seen any recent emails on this topic Bob,
or one that looks like a good result.

So, I'll make the suggestion you didn't want to see.

Have you tried browsing the Extended Attributes database
( EADATA . SF ) for the offending name?

IF you have it on a FAT file system
   ( or can copy/restore it to a FAT file system ),

THEN you can use Norton's old DOS DISKEDIT.

ELSE
  gee, I dunno
  ( I'd expect Chris Graham's Utilities to include a DISKEDIT
    equivalent, though ).

No, it ain't easy.

But, it might tell you why the folder name is found
when the folder doesn't exist as a directory.


Regards
Chris.

Of course!

It could only be in real life that implementing Disaster Recovery

Which way to the trees?

Hi all

Apologies for the outage over the past hour, our main UPS deceided
to blow its output stage, took a while before I smelt it :-(

Lets hope there are no power failures until I get it fixed, or
replaced :-)

Of cause it would have to be os2site dot com and os2 dot org dot au UPS.

Hi,
Don't laugh, but I've just put a 5 1/4" mini-floppy drive in my IBM 310
Server, occasionally I need to transfer data from that format to
something a bit more modern like CD-R, :)

Problem is, I've got no floppies to test it with!

Anybody got any 1.2MB 5 1/4" mini-floppy disks, that still work, that I
could test with in Sydney?

Subject: [os2genau] IDE to SCSI

Hi.
I will be migrating my warpserver onto some new hardware.
I am considering moving from IDE to SCSI and would apprciate some
recommendations to ease the move.

I have partitions c: thru h:, warpserver on c:, another bootable
install on f:.
My thoughts are 
1. to partition and format the new drive. 
2. Install a working copy of OS/2 on f:
3. copy via network data on C:, d:, e:, g: & H:.
4. Patch the original (now copied) warpserver config.sys and add scsi
support from working f:
5. Boot to warpserver on c:.
6. Copy f: across.

Please point out the pitfalls, is the move to scsi warranted, I am
using 10000 rpm ibm drives with 5 yr warranty in another server and
they seem good.

steve
