What a great flaming pain in the rear ! Way too
complicated, way too much work. That is why I set up
all *non-OS/2* partitions on a drive _first_ with PM.
(Which is simple & relatively quick, compared to your
multi-step scenario.) Actually, I use PM to partition
everything. It's the formatting and LVM part where we
need to take a fork in the road. Then, once Winsludge
is in business, I do the LVM stuff with DFSEE. But
that's one of my multi-OS drives, and I haven't tried
this yet with a *shared* FAT-32 partition that's
larger than 32G. My guess is that if the partition is
considered legit by Win-32, and the Netlabs driver
does what it's supposed to, at least the read access
should still work for OS/2 -- and that's what would be
of most value to me.
