Subj:	Re: using sysdump.dmp for a vd: unit

Glenn,

I don't know if you've ever mentioned this before, but vd: can be used on
discontiguous files.  My sysdump-common.dmp file has 4 fragments, so I
simply create 4 vd: devices each of which map to a contiguous fragment of
the  discontiguous file.  I then just moun/bind them all together into a
single logical volume set.

It seems to work just fine and is a very nice alternative for those who
don't have a large chunk of contiguous space to allocate to a single vd:
device.
