Obviously it would be really easy to write a wrapper around DIRECTXA that also runs DIRMAP (or what it is called these days) and extra sanity checks *before* bringing the directory online. Sometimes it makes sense to also detect the change to mini disks that are currently linked by logged-on users (typically for something you need to do after the new directory is online). While you can keep a lot in GLOBALV, it might be nice if DIRECTXA would place de FSTAT of the source directory in the object in a way that CP can tell it us. If you also keep your set of copies, it would identify which source is currently online. PS I also think it would be very practical if we would have the userid and device address of mini disks in the VTOC of the real volume. For people doing physical backup it would be more reliable than a copy of the directory. But I don't want to think about how complicated this will make DIRECTXA. Rob
