VMS Help INITIALIZE, Qualifiers, /SIZE *Conan The Librarian |
/SIZE=n
When /SIZE=n is specified for a magnetic disk, n specifies the
size (in blocks) of the logical volume (the space available for
the file system). This allows you to INITIALIZE a disk with a
file system size that is less than the physical volume size,
which can be useful if you plan to create a shadow set using this
disk and a smaller physical disk. The value of n is displayed
(in blocks) as "Logical Volume Size" in the output from a SHOW
DEVICE/FULL command.
For DECram disks, /SIZE specifies the size (in blocks) of the
disk (device type DT$_RAM_DISK) to be allocated from available
memory. The size of the device is created at disk initialization
time.
To deallocate space, specify /SIZE=0. All resources specifically
allocated to the DECram disk are returned to the system.
Note that n cannot exceed 524,280 blocks on versions of DECram
prior to Version 2.3. DECram Version 2.3 running on an Alpha
system supports up to 67,108,864 blocks, equivalent to 32GB.
