Hasn't the recommendation for Linux guests generally been to define 
cylinder zero as PERM space with a real volser, and then define MDISKS 
from cylinder 1 for as many as required?  That way the real volser can 
change as needed by the site, but the MDISK volser label seen by the guest 
can remain the same forever (and perhaps be the same for every guest so 
there are fewer differences?).
