Last time I tried this, it didn't work. Install reported that the drive was
not mounted (at the same time, when trying to remount the drive, mount reported
that the drive was already mounted). Now this was under VMS 4.4 or 4.5 and on
a non-clustered, non-HSC disk. I would believe (and hope) that they have fixed
the problem in a later version.
