The command is probably DRAIN rather than STOP, is it not? START reverses the DRAIN.

When new stuff is welcome again, you use START. To have CP read the allocation map, an ATTACH to SYSTEM needs to be done, and that's impossible when the disk is still attached to SYSTEM. 2009/9/16 Schuh, Richard <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> The question is, can you start a disk that is al;ready started. Earlier discussions seemed to say that the allocation map is only read when the disk is attached to system. That would indicate that the START command would be ineffective at increasing the amount of TDISK on an already started device.
