  /TRACKS=number_of_tracks

 	When this qualifier is specified the device will be created with the
 	specified number of tracks. If not specified, and no /CYLINDERS
 	and /SECTORS switches are specified, then the device geometry will
 	be calculated by the driver. If it is specified then any other geometry
 	switch will default to 1 when not specified.

 	The maximum number of tracks is 255.

 	If SECTORS * TRACKS * CYLINDERS is less than the capacity of the
 	containerfile an error message will be issued.

 	WARNING:

 		If a container file has been used and is reconnected with other
 		geometry information which results in another disksize then
 		diskcorruption may result.

 	This qualifier may not be used together with /REPLACE or /LBN. For
 	/REPLACE the geometry will be inherited from the replaced device.
 	For /LBN the driver will create the appropriate geometry.
