pHILE+ <strong>System</strong> <strong>Calls</strong> pcinit_vol<br />

Notes<br />

See Also<br />

1. All data stored on the volume is lost by execution of this call.<br />

2. The volume's hardware media must have been formatted before this call is<br />

executed.<br />

3. A mounted volume cannot be initialized.<br />

4. An MS-DOS volume must be formatted using the MS-DOS FORMAT utility or<br />

another comparable utility provided by some SCSI Controller Board vendors,<br />

not pcinit_vol(). After that, pcinit_vol() can be used to reinitialize the<br />

volume. pcinit_vol() reads the partition’s boot record, not the master boot<br />

record (which was written by FORMAT), to get the partition’s parameters.<br />

pcmount_vol, init_vol<br />
