SUMMARYQuestion: I am trying to implement fault tolerance on a Compaq Deskpro with two 325 MB hard disk drives. When I run FTSETUP to mirror drive D, I get the error message, "There is not enough disk space to mirror drive." My first hard disk drive (logical drive C) has a boot partition of 80 MB and an extended partition (logical drive D) of 245 MB. The second hard disk drive has been partitioned the same way (logical drive E of 80 MB and logical drive F of 245 MB). Both hard disk drives are straight HPFS and, other than OS/2 and OS/2 LAN Manager on drive C, there is nothing else on the hard disk drives. Why is this error message displayed?Response: Mirrored partitions are created in the UNUSED space of the extended partition on the second drive. Logical drives take up space, so FTSETUP was unable to set up a mirrored drive. To correctly install fault tolerance at this point, you need to delete the logical drive and try the mirror operation again. Additional query words:
