Making Volumes Auto-Active
An
active volume will become inactive when you
start up
again,
unless the volmne has AUTO startup
status.
In
that case, the volume becomes active
automatically.
Its
icon appears on the desktop when
you start up your system with your system diskette; you
do not have to use Volwne Manager to activate it.
1b give a volume AUTO startup status, click once on
its
startup status button and change. manual to AUTO.
Auto/manual startup changes are 'not effective until
you save them to your startup diskette. When you select
Eject Internal Diskette, Open Another Application, or Quit
from the File menu, you will be asked:
Save Auto/manual changes to diskette?
Click on Yes if you want to make the change; click on No
if you change your mind.
You can request AUTO status for
any
number of
volumes; however, the number that
vvill
actually become
active when you start up will depend on the amount of
memory available to activate the volumes. If there is
insufficient nlenlory, you will be informed during startup.
Customing Diskettes
with Auto-Active
The auto-active feature can be used to customize
l\t1ac
Disk System diskettes. For example, if you are in
charge of a shared Macintosh, you can configure a
startup diskette for each user, making the user's System,
application, and data volumes automatically active.
This technique not only saves time, it also offers a
measure of data security. If the users' volumes are
automatically active, you can eliminate Volume Manager
fronl their startup diskettes and volumes. Users \vould
then have no access to each other's volumes.
