Software RAID is another thing I want to study at some point, especially when I get my I64 hardware. For now, though, I'm satisfied that I learned how to use the Standalone Backup environment to copy/backup/resize disks. With the RAUSER disk type, disks over 1.5 GB are easy to set up. Excerpt from SimH/VAX manual: "RAUSER is a "user specified" disk; the user can specify the size of the disk in either MB (1000000 bytes) or logical block numbers (LBN's, 512 bytes each). The minimum size is 5MB; the maximum size is 2GB without extended file support, 1TB with extended file support." _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
