- I've a Vaxstation 3100 with 3 x 100 Mb disks; 1 for a system disk, 1 user disk
- & 1 disk which I intend to use for products.
-
- Now, the problem arises because Decwrite & similar products need to be installed
- on the system disk. However, by the time VMS and DecWindows are on the system
- disk then there's not much room left for anything else.
-
- In order to overcome this problem I decided to use MOUNT/BIND to join the
- system disk and the product disk together, so that VMS sees them as one volume.
-
- Great, I thought; but wait a minute, how do I dismount the system disk so that
- I can MOUNT it using BIND ?? And that's the problem, I need some mechanism to
- be able to mount the system disk so that I can bind it.
-
- Alternatively, can anyone suggest any other methods of achieving what I want?
-
- Reply by Email if possible, as I don't read this group too often.
-
- Thanks, Peter
