Thanks for the help with this guys!! Thanks to Kris who also accurately predicted that I'd need to define the 123 disk in order to update the directory with directxa! Managed to update the directory and got the 123 disk back online to maint - normal service resumed! :-] Hopefully no-one noticed... :-) Cheers,

I the stone age, it was often a drama when MAINT lost its 123 in de directory, now you can use DEFINE MDISK 123 to recover. 2008/10/8 Neale Ferguson < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> MAINT 123 is usually a full-pack minidisk that covers the volume that has the DRCT area on it (very often the 5xxRES pack). To be sure Q ALLOC DRCT to determine where the directory lives.
