Hello,
We ran into Problems formatting a 3390 Model 9 Minidisk (one cylinder less
than model 9) with dasdfmt (s390-tools-4 -patch).
At the end it says "Finished formatting the device rereading partition
table".... and then dasdftm hangs.
Any Solutions?
----------------SNIP--------------
#dasdfmt -f /dev/dasdb -b 4096
Drive Geometry: 10016 Cylinders * 15 Heads = 150240 Tracks
I am going to format the device /dev/dasdb in the following way:
Device number of device : 0x201
Major number of device : 94
Minor number of device : 4
Labelling device : yes
Disk label : VOL1
Disk identifier : 0X0201
Extent start (trk no) : 0
Extent end (trk no) : 150239
Compatible Disk Layout : yes
Blocksize : 4096
