OS/2

Summary:

The following is an explanation of how fault-tolerance drives are

numbered.

The first logical drive in each primary partition on each drive is

lettered consecutively (that is, C on Disk 0, D on Disk 1, E on Disk

2, etc.). The remaining drives are lettered successively on a

per-drive basis. For example:

DISK 80h DISK 81h

+-------------+ +-------------+

| DRIVE C | | DRIVE ?? | <-- Primary partition if one

| 80 MB | | | exists on the second drive.

+-------------+ +-------------+

| DRIVE ? | | MIRROR OF |

| | | DRIVE ? | <-- Extended partition that the

| 245 MB | ==>| | mirrors are created in.

| | | 245 MB |

| | | |

| | | |
