Yeah, the "root=" looks like it will cause you problems. When you IPL from this volume, dasdo1 will be your "old" root volume, hence giving you the smaller file system.
When you're going to do things the way you did, and re-address the minidisks so that they look like your current system, you need to have your parmfile, fstab, etc., remain the same also.

Note that we normally boot off the 201 (/dev/dasda1) device, and the new larger disk was added at address 20E (/dev/dasd01). To put the new disk into production I swapped 201 and 20E via the VM Directory. [defaultboot] default=ipl [ipl] target=/mnt/boot/zipl image=/mnt/boot/kernel/image #ramdisk=/boot/initrd parameters="dasd=0200-21f root=/dev/dasdo1 noinitrd" [dumptape] target=/boot dumpto=/dev/rtibm0 It was placed into production using the command: zipl -c /etc/zipl.new.root On further investigation (and from a suggestion off-list from Willem Konynenberg) I suspect that I have the "parameters" value incorrect, as this seems to be the only explaination of what's gone wrong here. Since I'm working with a production server I can't bounce and test at will. (The changes must be scheduled.) If someone can confirm this suspicion that would be very helpful to me.

To restate the problem, the 201 disk, which was substantially increased in size, has no additional free space when mounted as root.
