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. Rg -------
