INITIALIZE[/qualifier[s]] ddnn: volumelabel EXTENSION:n DENSITY:800 1600 LOW HIGH PROTECTION:code INDEX:BEGINNING MIDDLE END BLOCK:n HEADERS:n MAXIMUM:n [NO]VERIFIED VOLUME_PROTECTION:(code) OWNER:uic WINDOW:n The INITIALIZE command initializes a Files-11 volume. For more information on a given qualifier, see HELP INITIALIZE qualifier. Privileged users can initialize QMG queues and processors. See HELP INITIALIZE PROCESSOR and HELP INITIALIZE QUEUE. 2 PROCESSOR @DCLINITP 2 QUEUE @DCLINITQ 2 DENSITY INITIALIZE/DENSITY:800 ddnn: volumelabel 1600 LOW HIGH The /DENSITY qualifier specifies the density at which a magnetic tape is to be written. In the case of a floppy disk, it checks that the disk was formatted at the requested density. The default value is the lower of the two densities on a dual density drive. On single density drives, the qualifier serves as a check that the drive operates at the requested density. NOTE: The /DENSITY qualifier is the only legal qualifier when initializing magnetic tapes. 2 EXTENSION INITIALIZE/EXTENSION:n ddnn: volumelabel The /EXTENSION qualifier specifies the default number of blocks by which a file will be extended when it has exhausted its allotted space. The default value is /EXTENSION:5. 2 HEADERS INITIALIZE/HEADERS:n ddnn: volumelabel The /HEADERS qualifier specifies the number of file headers to allocate initially in the index file. The five system files INDEXF.SYS, BITMAP.SYS, BADBLK.SYS, CORIMG.SYS and 000000.DIR are not included in the value for n. The default values for n are listed in the table below.

This qualifier can be used to force the index file, the Master File Directory, and the storage allocation file to a specific location on the disk, usually to minimize access time. The default is /INDEX:MIDDLE for all disk devices and /INDEX:BEGINNING for all magnetic tape devices. 2 MAXIMUM INITIALIZE/MAXIMUM:n ddnn: volumelabel The /MAXIMUM qualifier specifies the maximum number of files permitted on the volume. The value for n includes the five system files. The minimum value for n is 5. The default and maximum values for n are listed in the table below. Device Def/Max Device Def/Max DECtape 34/278 RF disk 62/499 RK05 294/2357 RK06 1668/13344 RK07 3308/25600 RL01 629/5034 RL02 1259/10074 RM02/03 8099/25600 RP02 2460/19680 RP03 4920/25600 RP04/05 10567/25600 RP06 20956/25600 RS03/RS11 62/499 RS04 125/1003 RX01 29/238 RX02 60/481 2 OWNER INITALIZE/OWNER:[uic] The /OWNER qualifier specifies the owning uic of the volume. The square brackets are required syntax. The default value is /OWNER:[1,1]. RSX-11M-PLUS does not protect a volume at the UIC level. It does, however, prevent direct access to mounted volumes by nonprivileged tasks. This qualifier permits volume interchangeability with RSX-11D. 2 PROTECTION INITIALIZE/PROTECTION:(code) ddnn: volumelabel The /PROTECTION qualifier specifies the default protection for all files created on the volume being initialized. Each access code consists of a positional keyword specifying the protection group (SYSTEM:, OWNER:, GROUP:, WORLD:) folowed by a 4-code group specifying the protection, as follows: R - allow read acces to file W - allow write access to file E - allow file to be extended D - allow file to be deleted The default value is /PROTECTION:(SYS:RWED,OWN:RWED,GRO:RWED,WOR:RWED). 2 NOVERIFIED #VERIFIED 2 VERIFIED INITIALIZE/VERIFIED ddnn: volumelabel INITIALIZE/NOVERIFIED ddnn: volumelabel The /VERIFIED qualifier specifies that bad-block information for the volume should be determined automatically by using the BAD system utility. The /NOVERIFIED qualifier specifies that bad-block information for the volume will be entered manually. 2 VOLUME_PROTECTION INITIALIZE/VOLUME_PROTECTION:(code) ddnn: volumelabel The /VOLUME_PROTECTION qualifier specifies the volume access rights. Each access code consists of a positional keyword specifying the protection group (SYSTEM:, OWNER:, GROUP:, WORLD) followed by a 4-code group specifying the protection, as follows: R - allow read access to volume W - allow write access to volume E - allow extend access to volume D - allow delete access to volume The default value is /VOLUME_PROTECTION:(S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RWED,W:RWED). RSX-11M-PLUS does not protect a volume at the UIC level. It does, however, prevent direct access to mounted volumes by nonprivileged tasks. This qualifier permits volume interchangeability with RSX-11D. 2 WINDOW INITIALIZE/WINDOW:n ddnn: volumelabel The /WINDOW qualifier specifies the number of mapping pointers to be allocated for file windows. A file window consists of a number of mapping pointers; it is stored in memory when the file is opened. The default value is /WINDOW:7.
