- TITLE:
- Removing a STACKER volume completely; down/upsizing a drive.
-
- OVERVIEW:
- STACKER's SREMOVE utility is used in the process of both permanently
- removing a STACKER volume and "changing" the size of either the STACKER
- volume or the uncompressed drive.
-
- ISSUES/COMMENTS:
- 1) The permanent removal of a STACKER volume entails the removal of all
- of the data inside of it.
-
- 2) At this time, it is not possible to increase the size of a STACKER
- volume. It is necessary to remove the volume completely, then to create
- another volume of a different size. This applies if the STACKER
- volume is too small (too much space left uncompressed when the STACKER
- volume was created). Stacker version 2.0 can reduce the size of the
- Stacker drive using SDEFRAG /G (page 94 in the User Guide).
-
- RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
- 1) Permanent removal:
- a) back up all data on STACKER volume;
- b) run SREMOVE (see User's Manual, "STACKER Utilities--SREMOVE");
- c) delete DEVICE=STACKER.COM... and DEVICE=SSWAP.COM.. lines in
- CONFIG.SYS, per instructions following SREMOVE..
-
- 2) "Changing" the size of a STACKER volume:
- a) proceed as for permanent removal;
- b) make another free space STACKER volume using INSTALL or SCREATE,
- and changing only the amount of space to leave uncompressed;
- c) restore data to the new STACKER volume;
- d) edit CONFIG.SYS for new STACVOL filename.
