That is very true and I have heard of cases similar to yours.  But even if
the system does go down, you will not have to reload the entire system!  As
for attempting to purge a corrupt file, I would venture to say that it does
not matter what kind of volume set you are on, a corrupt file will do funky
things!
 
BTW Private Volume is the wrong nomenclature for the volume sets.  Private
Volume was on MPE/V and prior, sorry to be picky but one can only endeavor to
use the proper terminology.
 
Just to clarify the clarification.
 
Kind regards,
