$ back/image/noinit/log $110$dkb300: $110$dkb400:
%BACKUP-I-LOGNOTPRES, logical volume size of volume $110$DKB400: not preserved
%BACKUP-I-LIMITNOTPRES, expansion size limit of volume $110$DKB400: not preserve

This was issued on 7.3-2.  The input disk is an old system disk I have 
had for about 15 years (OK, it has gone through several physical disks 
of different sizes, but originally started out as a 7.1 fresh-from-CD 
installation).  It was originally initialised with /SYS/HEA=200000.
The output volume was initialised with /SYS/HEA=2000000/LIM/NOH/CLU=16.
Despite the message above, both the logical volume size and the 
expansion size limit ARE preserved.  (I noticed this after doing a 
similar copy a few days ago.)

Can someone check this on other versions of VMS?

Since I specified /NOINIT, it would be rather strange if these aspects 
were NOT preserved.
