Hi,
is there any readme or explanation how I have to set up dumpfs ?
Here's my extract from Scott's newsgroup post.
2.) Does the dump partition still have to be FAT16 ?
No, it's a dumpfs formatted volume. I don't know if dumpfs will work with
plain old partitions (i.e. Warp4 without LVM support).
4.) Can it start whereever it wants or does it have to be entirely below
the 8 GB limit (or any other limit) ?
It should be using LBA addressing, so you sould be able to put the
partition anywhere that the BIOS IO routines can access.
5.) Not directly related: does anyone know of a simple way to reduce a
partition to make room for a dump partition ?
I use dfsee for this kind of stuff. However, it really depends a lot on
the filesystem type.

With exactly 2gb installed, you can probably use the standard stuff, since
most systems take some memory off the top for shadowing. That said, I just
uploaded dumpfs.zip to testcase.
Summary:
- put udumpfs.* in \os2\dll, dumpfs.* in \os2\boot, and replace os2dump with
\os2dump.hd
- Add IFS=DUMPFS.IFS to config.sys.
- Create a partition with LVM or whatever. LVM is such a terrible
utility that the best I can suggest is use "create a partition that can
be made bootable" and then delete it from boot manager (if installed).
Make sure the partition is at least as large as your phyiscal RAM size. -
Format x: /fs:dumpfs (x: is whatever)
- add TRAPDUMP=R0,X: (or whatever) to point the dump at the right drive.
Note that I was too lazy to add EA support to the IFS, so the workplace
shell gets upset if you try to look at the drive with a drives object. Use a
command prompt or PMDF or whatever to get to the dump.
