Our largest one is 30000 pages.

I've not heard that one before, but it so happens that I always set up the
profile after initialisation since we sysin across the ether.

When that happens I've always managed to recover with scavenges, sometimes
having to fix up the break in SCAVENGEDSKDIRECTORY,in this case there was
plenty of space for the sysout.

Thanks for the responses, to recover with the minimum fuss I eventually
erased the LispFiles volume using the installation tool, reinstalled the
Koto systemtools etc - at least I didnt need to repartition & the other
LispFiles volumes were OK.

Cheers,

Andrew
