Problem mounting RA81's:

I think the problem is the startup time for the RA81's.  It takes each
disk a few seconds to check itself and initialize bad block pointers etc.

In my startup file I put a WAIT 00:00:04.0  (i.e. 4 second wait)  just
before mounting the RA81 and have no problem.   Mounting youe RP07 was
probably giving you just enough time for the '81's to get ready.  I
don't know if I read somewhere to put that in or what but I did.  We
also run VMS V3.4.
