HOWEVER, I would need to additionally purchase a new subscription to get a fix for something Arca broke
Anyway, I assume that this is related only to the bootable JFS. There is no need and no reason to use JFS on the boot-drive, I personally would never do so.

Just keep in mind that for larger boot drives, HPFS will not work, IIRC, therefore one has no choice my to use JFS. I always use JFS because I always use one drive for my ArcaOS VMs without a hitch.
I just received a message from Arca Noae today noting that they have finally 'fixed' their defective JFS Driver. I just found my original GG posting from June 2019 detailing my Arca JFS problems. For the last several years, in order to restore orbackup, I need to first install legacy eCS on another partition, as eCS had no problems. This is solely an Arca issue. The only people who can use the fix are Arca costumers who bought and installed a defective Arca product. Now, over 18 months later,
thanks,
Baden

thanks,First, JFS has always been broken, from day one. The main prolem, that

was fixed, was a very rare failure. They did add another fix for JFS
boot support, simply because they have it.
If you need to install eCS, to restore, or backup, you have a
different problem, and it is unlikely to have anything, at all, to do
with the Arca Noae version of JFS.
Yes, you do need a subscription to get it. Arca Noae needs income to
stay in business. They are not a bottomless pit like IBM was. If we
lose Arca Noae, we lose OS/2. It is that simple. Support them, or OS/2
is stuck where it is, unless somebody else is willing to do a LOT of
work.

Hi Doug:
If the problem only occurs on an ArcaOS JFS drive, I would be interested to know what could be causing it, besides the ArcaOS file system? Their one patch descriptor sounds awfully close.
Imagine if they were to openly distribute that fix. It might even a long way to getting some more subscriptions from me, which they have done their utmost to dissuade.
thanks,
Baden

Have you analyzed the problem with DFSEE? Another package that is well
worth every penny that it costs.
