Not sure, I may have seen similar under many/varied conditions at one time
or another (not particularly OS/2's fdisk).

Myself, no, that has not occured. I don't think I've been in that situation
for SCSI; my prior SCSI workstation was only a 1GB drive, and the 4.2GB
srvr doesn't use BM. This workstation is now using a 2.5GB EIDE HDD,
partitioned 1)BM, 2)500MB, 3)2GB. Both partitions are primary and on the BM
menu. I'm running HPFS off the 2GB partition (with already only 733MB
free;).. The WARP development pack together with Visual Age C++ chewed out
a few hundred MB's.

We have found recently that while greater than 2GB partitions appear fine
in technical operation, some applications have problems with them,
regarding their space available checking. We noted some DOS, WIN, 95, and
OS/2 apps report no space available (on a bare ~2.5GB partition) during
initial installation runs; that machine was later repartitioned using only
<=2GB sized partitions.
