An ldl has no vtoc and the partition starts right after the label record and occupies the remainder of the disk. The cdl partitions use fmt1 dscbs and their sizes and locations are defined by DS1EXT1, the first extent descriptor. Are you saying that the DS1LSTAR field should also be set? It seems largely ignored. -Don
