uses the partition larger than 2Gb, which
is not properly handled by DOS (or by the
program itself?)What could I do to test this?
First make sure the partition you use really exceeds 2Gb. If not - skip the tests. Create an empty file of, say, 100Mb (with dd from /dev/zero for example). Create the FS on it (with mke2fs for example). Mount it as a loop device. lredir to it and copy your DOS stuff there. See if it works.
(no, don't use mkfatimage16 instead of the loop-mount - mkfatimage16's image access will most likely solve your problems, but as a test it would be completely useless).

Okay, I made a 1G file, built an ext3 filesystem on it and mounted it as a loop device. Then I copied the whole C drive directory onto the loop fs and changed the symlink (~/.dosemu/drives/c) to point to it.
Word still thinks the disk is full. :-(

This probably deserves an RTFM, but... How dow I use mkfatimage16 to (most likely) solve my problems? Do I build the FAT image and then mount it as a loop device or is there something I do to tell DOSEMU to mount it itself?
Thanks.
