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
