Latest revision as of 17:58, 21 September 2022

The CDFS.IFS enables support for CD-ROMs. Without this, you can't use your CD-ROM drive.

IFS=C:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS <parameters>

Default settings:

IFS=C:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /C:2 /M:8

Parameters:

/C:value: This sets the size of the cache.; Value is expressed in blocks of 64 Kbytes.
/M:value: This sets up the maximum number of file sectors read at the same time.
/P:value: Defines the debug output port (COM1 or COM2).; Value can be 1 or 2
/K: Enables the volume descriptor by kanji.
/Q: Disables error message at boot up.
/V: Shows the used settings at boot up.
/W: Enables support for the Joliet CD-ROM format. This parameter is new with Warp 3 fixpak 32 and Warp 4 fixpak 5.; Currently not all versions of the Joliet CD-ROM format are supported.

Example To read the full name of files from a Joliet CD format you can add "/W" on the CDFS.IFS command on your config.sys: (It had to be Warp 4 with FP5 or higher)

IFS=X:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /Q /W

Platform Support:
OS/2 1.x	OS/2 2.x	OS/2 3.0	OS/2 4.0	OS/2 4.5x
