Remarks
- On basic master boot record (MBR) disks, the hidden,
readonly, and nodefaultdriveletter parameters of the
attributes volume command apply to all volumes on the
disk.
- On basic GUID partition table (GPT) disks, and on dynamic MBR
and GPT disks, the hidden, readonly, and
nodefaultdriveletter parameters of the attributes
volume command apply only to the selected volume.
- When attributes disk is used to display the current
attributes of a disk, the Boot Disk attribute denotes the
disk used to boot the system. For a dynamic mirror, it is displayed
for the disk containing the boot plex of the boot volume.
- A volume must be selected for the attributes volume
command to succeed. Use the select volume command to select
a volume and shift the focus to it.
- A disk must be selected for the attributes disk command
to succeed. Use the select disk command to select a disk and
shift the focus to it.
