If such a tool can be made, why not go just a bit further and mimic what would have been done by dasdfmt and fdisk (1 partion on the whole mdisk)?
And optionally, why not put in the correct blocks that mimic an mkfs? Then I could run several initializations on preallocated volumes while I am still generating the target directory entry, granting vsw access, etc. /Tom Kern On Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:18:09 -0500, David Boyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> w rote: >One idea would be to create a tool similar to SWAPGEN that clips cyl 0 >of a minidisk from CMS to provide a label that Linux can recognize, >incorporate that into the DIRMAINT format minidisk exit (insert your >product equivalent here), and thus stop the whining at boot.
