When using the drct operand you are inquiring into the directory, not the
virtual configuration.
So when using the drct operand you must specify ownerid/vaddr to keep the
command happy.

Check the syntax of the query command. I'm not sure but maybe the default is
the current logged on userid which may not have a 888 minidisk in the
directory.

Subject: Q MDISK question
I just bumped into a situation with the Q MDISK command that I didn't
understand,
and am wondering what I might have done wrong.

q mdisk 889 drct

What could cause Q MDISK to tell me the device does not exist?
At first I thought maybe somehow the base mdisk had been deleted from
the directory, but a new link to it proves it is still there.
Any ideas what happened here?
Thanks,
Shimon
