Hi, Jim.
If by 'format' you mean to do in CMS what the Linux dasdfmt command does
then I believe that the following should do what you want:
1) FORMAT <v_addr> <fm> (BLK 4096
2) RESERVE LINUX FILESYS <fm>
If you want to create a Linux file system on the DASD from CMS, that is
do-able as well, but with a bit more work on your part.....
Have a good one.

Kludge yes, one pack; no. Because of striping we would need at least
thirteen differently sized template minidisks. Unless we could format
just one very large minidisk and image copy as little as needed. I
believe CMS gets just a little bent out of shape if one did this. Would
not z/Linux too?
