TITLE:
|
||
|
|
Removing a STACKER volume completely; down/upsizing a drive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OVERVIEW:
|
||
|
|
STACKER's SREMOVE utility is used in the process of both permanently
|
||
|
|
removing a STACKER volume and "changing" the size of either the STACKER
|
||
|
|
volume or the uncompressed drive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ISSUES/COMMENTS:
|
||
|
|
1) The permanent removal of a STACKER volume entails the removal of all
|
||
|
|
of the data inside of it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) At this time, it is not possible to increase the size of a STACKER
|
||
|
|
volume. It is necessary to remove the volume completely, then to create
|
||
|
|
another volume of a different size. This applies if the STACKER
|
||
|
|
volume is too small (too much space left uncompressed when the STACKER
|
||
|
|
volume was created). Stacker version 2.0 can reduce the size of the
|
||
|
|
Stacker drive using SDEFRAG /G (page 94 in the User Guide).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
|
||
|
|
1) Permanent removal:
|
||
|
|
a) back up all data on STACKER volume;
|
||
|
|
b) run SREMOVE (see User's Manual, "STACKER Utilities--SREMOVE");
|
||
|
|
c) delete DEVICE=STACKER.COM... and DEVICE=SSWAP.COM.. lines in
|
||
|
|
CONFIG.SYS, per instructions following SREMOVE..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) "Changing" the size of a STACKER volume:
|
||
|
|
a) proceed as for permanent removal;
|
||
|
|
b) make another free space STACKER volume using INSTALL or SCREATE,
|
||
|
|
and changing only the amount of space to leave uncompressed;
|
||
|
|
c) restore data to the new STACKER volume;
|
||
|
|
d) edit CONFIG.SYS for new STACVOL filename.
