I actually looked into this option around 2008 (for the same Alpha). If I remember correctly I ran into a problem on the VMS side of the file size limit (I have the same disk size now I had in 2008). This can work, but you have to break larger disks up into chunks. I’m hoping to avoid that, with the solution I’m looking at.
