Hi

It was dosfsck 2.11 DOS3, 8 Aug 2007; the version from FreeDOS RC3. I was using it on a 12gb hard drive.

But this was in 86Box (emulating a Pentium 133 with 16mb of ram), so the problem may have been with the emulator and not with the program.

It's very possible that I simply didn't wait long enough -it was between 5 to 10 minutes.

I don't have a bare metal computer I can test it on right now, but if it would help I wouldn't mind creating a 12gb VirtualBox machine and trying it there.

Thanks!

Hi! Which version of dosfsck hangs for you,
how large are the drives (if possible also
in the unit clusters) and how much memory
do you have available? How long have you
waited - maybe it just took rather long?

You probably want to disable swapfiles in
your cwsdpmi or other dpmi configuration,
depending on which dpmi / dos ext you use.

Regards, Eric

dosfsck appears to work on FAT32, though
I've had it hang on very large (~10gb) drives.
