This means  LISTSERV was expecting  to find  a fixed-access disk  (ie one
which is accessed  once and for all  in PROFILE EXEC) but  found the slot
used by  a dynamic disk  it had  accessed all by  itself. This is  a very
common problem  when migrating a disk  from fixed to dynamic  status: you
add the MDISK.xxx entry and it works  fine for new files, but you have to
change old files as well, because they were registered as "disk L" rather
than  "disk xxx",  and there  is  no telling  how  'xxx' is  going to  be
accessed at any given time. In other words, you need to do a
 
C.L5.L5/xxx.*
 
on your xxxxxxx FILEID file.
