- Some time ago, there was some discussion re: pre-extending INDEXF.SYS,
- and the consensus was, that one has to be very careful,
- so that INDEXF.SYS won't become a multi-header file by any chance.
-
- It occurred to me that there is a VMS utility for extending files,
- which *has* that important check built-in:
-
- $ MCR SYSGEN CREATE disk:[000000]INDEXF.SYS/size=<newsize>
-
- Successfully tested (on a PDA0: device)!
-
- NB. This still doesn't help with badly fragmented disks,
- but right after an image BACKUP, there shouldn't be a problem.
