Thanks a lot. : Yudong As far as I know, if the tape parameter of logical log is set to /dev/null, then the log space will be automatically reused. You do not have to do ontape -a Please tell me if I am wrong. BY the way, I am using 7.11 All the best, Alan. -- [ Alan Mak Siu Kei ** siumk@hkstar.com ** (852)71286683 ] ^ ^ "Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes." o o > ---- < -Luke 12:23
