This is not important, but I just have to ask this. Does anybody know why the original designers of VM did not do something for "minidisks" akin to a OS/360 VTOC? Actually, it would be more akin to a "partition table" on a PC disk. It just seems that it would be easier to maintain if there was "something" on the physical disk which contained information about the minidisks on it. Perhaps with information such as: start cylinder, end cylinder, owning guest, read password, etc. CP owned volumes have an "allocation map", this seems to me to be an extention of that concept.
