I'm sorry if this is redundant and you have already seen this, but
I have not seen any responses and am trying again. Someone out
there must have an idea about this? Please ;-)
I have a partitioned disk on which I want to mark one or more
partitions as unmountable.
I understand this is currently supported on Unix System V.3 Release 2.
We have Release 1.01 of the Tower 700. I am assuming that there is
some part of the bootblock or partition table that holds this information;
but where?
Can I do this on this version of the O/S? If so, how?
Thanks,
Tanya
