Problem Conclusion
There is a LIC error in the base IBM i 7.2 code that changed the
expected location of data on the media. Apply this fix to
correct the file system processing and the data on *HPOFS media
from earlier releases may be accessed. Warning: When this PTF
is applied, any media that was initialized on v7r2 with INZOPT
MEDFMT(*HPOFS), or with INZOPT MEDFMT(*MEDTYPE) when the media
type is *WORM or *ERASE will not be usable after this PTF is
applied. Files should be copied off of the *HPOFS media before
applying this PTF.
