Ah, but that at least is not recommended ;-) If your A-disk is on SFS and
the SFS server coughs up, zap, there  is no A-disk any more. But LISTSERV
will keep running. It just won't find  some of the files, and will assume
default behaviour. Production incoming files  will be eaten and incorrect
output will be generated. With a minidisk, if the disk goes away, you get
a read error or  a "File system error detected" and  things will at least
stop.
