5538.0. "Export a floppy disk?" by BSS::G_MCINTOSH (Touch Not the Cat, Bot the Glove) Tue May 27 1997 17:47

    
    Customer wants to export a floppy disk on ucx server to unix client.
    Floppy disk is device dva0:
    
        UCX> map "/vmsdsk" dva0:
        error processing map request
    	device not ready, not mounted or unavailable.
    
    So, the question is, is it possible to export a floppy disk?

    FYI.....
    
    The answer is, apparently, yes you can export a floppy IF you 
    first initialize the drive and mount in inside vms before you 
    try to map it and export it. 
    
            $ init dva0: label
            $ mount dva0: label
            ucx> map.....

    The disk must be mounted as a /SYSTEM volume.
