Before doing this I checked he was logged off. When he logged on again, everything was where he expected it to be but he got a strange result from Q MDISK :- q mdisk 191 TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev PPFDEV 0191 PPFDEV 0191 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 14:36:40 q mdisk 193 TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev PPFDEV 0193 PPFDEV 0191 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 14:36:47 When he did a Q MDISK nnn LOC he could, indeed see that the disks were defined in different places so all is well - but I am at a loss to explain why he is seeing this result. Can anyone explain this?
