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.

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?
