Your original question included the phrase: > every time I use the phrase 'full pack minidisk'.
Now you're whining that: " 1 to END minidisk" just doesn't have the same ring to it as 'full pack'. And it's another syllable to mumble.. ;-) Granted, it does take one whole extra syllable, but : 1 to end minidisk vs full pack minidisk saves a whole BYTE! Maybe it depends on your elocution skills vs your typing speed and quality (both frequent challenges for me). But "syllable" itself uses a the same number of syllables as bytes as "1 to end"! ;-) Oh look... it's: FRIDAY!! BYTE me! ;-) Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

Ok -- darn it. "a 1 to END minidisk" just doesn't have the same ring to it as 'full pack'. And it's another syllable to mumble.. ;-) For Linux guests - my typical recommendation is to use '1 to END minidisks' rather than get into dividing things any smaller - unless there is a really compelling reason. And I typically refer to this as a 'full pack' provisioning implementation -- so I think I need to stop doing that. Thanks all -- wanted to make sure I wasn't in the dark on how to refer to these beasties.

(1-END) There is no official term, but I don't see what's wrong with "a 1 to END minidisk". It requires no more explication than "fullpack".
