A few more years ago, dasdfmt allowed the user to format only a range of cylinders. I believe that support was removed because they got too many support calls from customers who incorrectly only formatted part of the volume. ;-) IIRC that broke our process using &flashcopy to "format" a new mini disk using another (very large) empty disk and run dasdfmt to initialize the part that depends on the size of the disk... | Rob
