New issue cropping up relating to this: I was able to move the CP Directory off the RES volume, and placed it at the head of the paging volume. I changed the cylinder description on 510RES from DRCT to PERM, and set up the DRCT cylinders on 510PAG, and used DIRECTXA to populate the new directory. The system comes up using the directory on 510PAG. So far so good.
Looking at the DIRM DIRMAP command, the old directory cylinders still show up as .DRCT., and the new directory cylinders aren't marked at all. Is there a way to get DirMaint to "re-read" its sources and rebuild the .xxx. Entries? (p.s. Don't try to DDR the directory to another volume... Doesn't work all that well.... Or at all. Make sure you have a source directory to set the new DRCT from. :-) -- Robert P.
