Message-ID: <747@utcsstat.UUCP> Date: Tue, 5-Jul-83 09:22:05 EDT Article-I.D.: utcsstat.747 Posted: Tue Jul 5 09:22:05 1983 Date-Received: Tue, 5-Jul-83 10:30:15 EDT Organization: U. of Toronto, Canada Lines: 17 Ok wizards: Have any of you given any thought to getting unix and vms to share a disk (like an RA81, for example)? Has anyone actually done this? We are getting a single disk 750 soon and we thought that being able to boot vms occasionally might be nice. We may use vms' stand alone backup to save the disk and DEC might feel better about things if we verify hardware problems with vms. We would like to have unix boot blocks, a minimal vms disk and the rest of the disk belong to unix. VMS is a bit rigid about home blocks, so we thought that letting vms at the disk first might be easiest. Allocate all the spare space to a single file and then build the unix file system into that space. Any ideas about how to accomplish this?
