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, Denys. . .
