Ahhh, but you HAVE done it. [voice of Jack Sparrow]
How many blocks are normal to reserve (not give to a user MDISK or to
put in $ALLOC$) for the equivalent of reserving cylinder zero for CP on
an ECKD volume? It looks like DSF assumes 4 blocks.
It's actually 4 PAGES, not 4 blocks, not even 4K, just to confuse you.
Since FBA blocks are 512, that's 32 blocks DSF reserves for the system.
(This being the year 2008, I do not understand how disk storage
can still be blocked so small!)
Remember that while CP (and DSF) talk about pages,
you're back to blocks in the CP Directory. (Will it ever end?) :-)
