The disk allocation algorithm in MPE tried to put files anywhere but LDEV 1, so why put a giant disk there? You would probably better off with a 2 or 4 GB drive to boot from, and put your 9GB as some other non-booting LDEVS (either in the MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET or a user volumeset). MPE sure doesn't need 9GB to boot from. Only NT can be expected to bloat that much in the future .... :) -- Mark Landin T. D. Williamson, Inc. UNIX Sys. Admin (but an MPE-er too!)
