Novell is pretty good for the most part, but lacks two features that Unix has that makes disk management a breeze: mounting and linking. Under Unix, I can TRANSPARENTLY spread data over several physical disks and separate volumes. I don't know of any way to do this with Novell, so now we are forced to have a 2 Gig SYS volume. We want to be able to do this: MAP F:= SERVER/SYS: (This already works, of course) MAP F:\APPS = SERVER/VOL1: MAP F:\WINAPPS = SERVER/VOL2: and so on. Right now, every time we need to add another disk we need to add another drive letter, warn all the users, reconfigure all the apps, the menus, Windows, OS/2, etc, etc, etc. It's a real pain. How hard can it be to implement? Unix-style links would also be nice, but I don't expect them anytime soon. Thanks for listening, Chris
