I do all HDD maintenance while booted from a DOS floppy. I am current
on DFSEE but use Partition Magic 6 for most everything. FAT32
partitions made that way have always worked under W98 and OS/2. I do
tend to keep them under 50G so I don't have a lot of experience with
larger partitions.

Creating a backup drive as a single extended and then dividing it into
logicals makes it more "portable".

Current OS/2 FAT32 support is here.
