I thought I had answered in another note. I want to add an extra
partition to an existing 2.4 linux image and have done the necessary vm
work.
thanks

Lionel,
You didn't answer my question, you just repeated the same statement that
generated my question. :(
If you want to add a DASD volume to a 2.2 system, you need to update your
parmfile by adding the device number to _the end_ of the "dasd="
parameter,
re-run silo, and reboot your system.
If you want to add a DASD volume to a 2.4 system, you can either do the
above, or to do it dynamically:
echo "add device range=devno-range ">>/proc/dasd/devices
echo "set device range=devno-range on ">>/proc/dasd/devices
cat /proc/dasd/devices to see what device names got assigned (/dev/dasd?)
dasdfmt them
fdasd them if cdl format was specified (or defaulted)
mke2fs them
mount them
update your parmfile and re-run silo to make the changes permanent. If
you
don't do this, the volumes will "go away" at the next system reboot.
Note the trailing blanks on the "echo" commands. These are necessary due
to
a bug in the interface.
Note also that on a 2.4 system, if you run dasdfmt on a device, and do
_not_
specify the disk layout, you will get the "cdl" layout, which means you
will
have to run fdasd before mke2fs.

I want to add a new partition to an existing linux server under z/vm. I
know how to assign it to the server via z/vm but not add it to the linux
server.
thx
btw. I looked on the linuxvm.org and didn't see a howto and looking in the
archives wasn't easy.
