A 50GB disk array is used with a Netware 3.12 server.  However, the
server takes a long time to mount the disk during the startup -
approximately 20 minutes.

How can I speed up the mounting?

I know that it does a consistency check on the two sets of directory
table and FATs to verify that the two copies are identical.

Even though I do not believe this is the major factor in its slowness,
can it be turned off?

Are there any other factors I should be aware of, and can those be
turned off too?

Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
