This filter driver makes a FAT32 partition visible to OS/2. It can also be used to make instead the ext2flt.flt driver to make an ext2 Partition visible to OS/2.

BASEDEV=Partfilt.flt parameters

Parameters:

• /Q

  Disable the messages shown at boot up.

• /V

  Displays some diagnostic information during the boot.

• /W

  This allows write access to the FAT32 partitions.

• /A

  Virtualize all found partitions. If you use this option, you must also specify the /M option, otherwise OS/2 may crash. The only good reason to use this option is along with the /M option to control the mounting order of all partitions.

• /M mount-order

  Mounts the partitions in the order specified in the mount-order. The mount-order is a list of numbers separated by commas. To find out which number a partition has, use the program Diskinfo. Type in the partition numbers in the order you like. If you want to hide a partition than you must simply remove the partition number from the mount-order.

• /P partition types

  This option setsa the partition types which should be virtualized. Please do not use any partion types already supported by OS/2!. Here are the partition types:

  • 01 FAT12 (supported by OS/2)

  • 02 XENIX_1

  • 03 XENIX_2

  • 04 FAT16 (supported by OS/2)

  • 05 EXTENDED

  • 06 HUGE (supported by OS/2)

  • 07 IFS (supported by OS/2)

  • 0E XINT13

  • 0F XINT13_EXTENDED

  • 41 PREP

  • 63 UNIX

  • 83 LINUX

  To make Partfilt.flt virtualize a FAT32 partition you should use /P 0B.
