The fact that it is ³CP OWNED² and not ³CP SYSTEM² would lead me to wonder about your statement ³Being that the volume is already labeled should I assume that it has allocated to lets say PERM?². I wouldn¹t make such an assumption, especially if someone took the trouble to put it in the CP Owned list. Get a read-only link to the volume and run ICKDSF to get a list of the allocation map of the device. A sample follows:
