   Several sites have claimed to use the above to fix disk quota problems.
VERIFY documentation implies that the structure is write locked during the
operation.  ie the structure needs to be quiet.
   Our system is booted perhaps once a week barring system problems.  We
have naive operators who don't want to know anything unless necessary.
Should I force a repair at boot time?  How long will this take on a public
structure of 2 RA81's on an HSC?  If I do it at every boot, where in the
startup file should it go to guarantee the structure is write-lockable at
the time?  How do I prevent users getting to the system while their disk
is unusable (I hate to confuse the naive)?  Thanks in advance.
   Naively yours,
