Hi.
I have a Jaz 2 GB drive. I can read/write/access the disks okay using the
QNX file system.
I can read/write/access 1 GB disks using QNX and DOS on the 2 GB Jaz drive.
I can’t access 2GB DOS disk. I have made sure that these are FAT-16
(partitioned on QNX system using fdisk).
What’s the trick to getting the 2GB DOS disk to work?
TIA
Augie
I run 2GB Jaz with regular native QNX4 filesystem. I don’t recall any trick
being required. I did put a partition on the disk (covering all cylinders) and
a mount -p. Then, IIRC, just a plain old dinit. In fact, I use this for
backup and the weekly backup does a dinit on the newly rotated in Jaz 2GB disk.

I am only able to do this using Fsys.dos, beta sw I got from QNX a long time ago

Yes, I can use the Jaz 2GB with no problems using the QNX 4 file system.
But I can’t take a new formatted disk for Windows, which reads fine on a
Windows machine, but not in QNX 4 using the Dosfsys driver.
Dosfsys does create a /dos/c directory, but you can’t do an ‘ls’ of /dos/c.
Why?

Sounds like it is a FAT32 file system. Also, do not use Dosfsys or
Fsys.dos, both are deprecated/unsupported … please use the 4.25
Fatfsys utility now for accessing all local DOS/FAT disks …

Thanks.
I missed the ‘Fatfsys’ news some where. I just installed QNX 4 on two new
systems here, using the March 2001 CD, which still uses ‘Dosfsys’.
Thanks again.
