I have two disks on my Vax785: a RA60 (removable) and a RA81 (non-removable).
There are 3 filesystems on the RA60 (a,g, & h) plus a swap area (b) and 5
filesystems on the RA81 (a,d,e,f, & h) plus a swap area (b).
Question #1:
Are these numbers fixed? May I put more (less) filesystems on
the disks? If so is there an upper (lower) limit?
Question #2:
How do I go about changing the sizes of the filesystems? Are there
any filesystems which must be kept the same size (e.g. /, swap, etc.)?
Do I use diskpart(8) to do this and, if so, how do I enter the new
partitions?
Question #3:
How does the partitioning affect the efficiency of accessing the disk?
Are there better and worse partitions? What sort of things should I be
careful to (not) do?
Please reply by e-mail as our USENET feeds are somewhat irregular.
