Thanks Bob, I should have realized using ->dl_Task message passing was a good idea, as I have to use this method to get a correct DiskType reading on the devices. For those locking disks using this method -- remember, don't include a lock or a name as the (first and second?) arguments, leave them NULL. And if ->dl_Task == NULL and ->dl_LockList != NULL, do a DupLock(->dl_LockList). Hope this helps somebody. For format (haven't gotten to DiskCopy), pass the device name as the name argument. This definitely is what is there for bad disks. For good disks -- I don't know WHAT to pass. But the lock on that disk seems sufficient. Any comments on that? :-) David Navas c60c-1ea@WEB.Berkeley.Edu
