Hello Group,

I replied to the sender but forgot to copy the list.  An important and 
somewhat esoteric point.  There is a little known config bit on some
SCSI disks that will bite you with VMS 5.5.x (+??).  It has to do with
write pre-allocation.  I have a Quantum LPS-340 that had this turned on
and VMS absolutely went NUTS!  I had to get a utility that turned this
bit off in the drive itself.  Other drives too may have this turned
on.

Regards


Andy SPorner
