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. -- Ted Marshall ...!ucbvax!mtxinu!blia!tedmtxinu!blia!ted@Berkeley.EDU Britton Lee, Inc., 14600 Winchester Blvd, Los Gatos, Ca 95030 (408)378-7000 The opinions expressed above are those of the poster and not his employer.
