This lack of volume shadowing PAKS is really a bad deal.  I'm
dissapointed.  I was pretty excited to finally upgrade.  I just work
on porting various opensource packages in my spare time for fun,
exploring OpenVMS administration tasks, and other silly constructed
problems.  But I'm not going to put any time into a system that
doesn't have mirrored system drives, and disk mirroring for backups.
