So it's not letting you use the -k (--keep_volser) option unless you also specify -a? Because, at least looking at the man page, -k should work as long as you're in non-interactive mode and -c puts you in non-interactive mode.
As in: `fdasd -k -c /fdasdb.conf /dev/dasdb` Also, you might also try: `fdasd -l UPST01 -c /fdasdb.conf /dev/dasdb` On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 2:32 PM, Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E] < baue...@mail.nih.gov> wrote: > Is there a way to rename a volume?
