Nevertheless our system managers have named our disks "PRODUCT$DISK" and such. Could somebody clarify exactly WHERE DEC states this policy (e.g. in 4.6 release notes page blah-blah paragraph 87...) so I can go look it up. Also, do device names qualify as logicals, and/or just what does the restriction cover?
