OpenVMS VMS721_MOUNT96-V0200 Alpha V7.2-1 MOUNT96 ECO Summary
TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721_MOUNT96-V0200 Alpha V7.2-1 MOUNT96 ECO Summary
Modification Date: 11-JAN-2001
Modification Type: Updated Kit Supersedes VMS721_MOUNT96-V0100
NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi. The resultant
file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for MOUNT on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1. This kit addresses
the following problems:
Problems Addressed In VMS721_MOUNT96-V0200:
o Initialize VCB$L_BLOCKFACT to be at least 1, so that the XQP
does not incur 'divide by zero' and UNXSIGNAL bugchecks.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE
[SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE
o When mounting a CD that was created from a disk that was
larger than the CD itself, a check that compares the volume
size, cluster factor and block count fails with a
%MOUNT-F-FILESTRUCT error.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE
[SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE
Problems Addressed in VMS721_MOUNT96-V0100:
o The density of a tape is not initialized correctly, if no
density is supplied and compaction is disabled.
Images Affected:
- [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE
- [SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE
o Irregular errors have been reported from SYSINIT when trying
to MOUNT the system disk which can lead to a system crash.
All crashes have been seen only during STARTUP.
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SYSINIT.EXE
o If a batch job issues a SPWAN/NOWAIT MOUNT command, and then
exits while the MOUNT is in operator assist wait, the result
is that the subprocess hangs in MOUNT in LEF and the main
process in RWAST waiting for the subprocess to exit.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE
o When MOUNTing bound volume sets which are also shadow set
members, MOUNT-F-INCONSET and MOUNT-I-DOVOLSET occur on
certain devices.
Images Affected:
- [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE
- [SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE
o The /DENSITY qualifier is quietly ignored when used with some
tape devices. Many customers continue to use the /DENSITY
qualifier on tape drives that do not support any specific
density. Rather, they support various forms of compaction.
This has led to confusion about what the drive should or
should not be doing.
This change simply reports the SS$_IVDENS warning message if
/DENSITY was supplied and the device driver could not process
it correctly. Note that the MOUNT will continue and the
default compaction characteristics will be used.
Images Affected:
- [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE
- [SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE
INSTALLATION NOTES:
No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit.
