I think I asked this once, but didn¹t get an answer....

The 5.3 install allowed me to format page and spool as 3390 mod 9 devices
(10017 cylinders). But in fact, I was using 3390 mod 27 disks (32760
cylinders). If I go into the devices with ICKDSF and change the remaining
cylinders to PAGE and SPOL, I¹m fairly sure nothing bad will happen to the
page volume, but will the spool volume remain intact? Or will I be
cold-starting and rebuilding my SDF files?

Do I need to back everything up (requiring tape, which is scarce here), or
can I get away with just doing it?
