My origional question was about why partition h of a RZ26
drive did not appear to be used following a basic install
of osf1 3.2. I asked if I could newfs and mount it. The answers
came in thick and fast, YES. My confidence so boosted, I did so
and all is well.
Nobody was really sure why DEC ignores what is almost half
a disk (a pretty standard disk at that). Still it is trivial
to do so manually.
