Abel, You need to do one of two things: 1. Run dasdfmt and take the default layout of CDL, and then run fdasd to create at least one partition. 2. Run dasdfmt and specify the "Linux layout".
Then you can run mke2fs on the volume.

Invalid partition specified, or partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to a modified partition being busy and in use. You may need to reboot to re-read your partition table. Help! Thanks you! A. Gharzita Pace University DoIT - CSD PS. Is there any admin doc for RedHat Linux for S/390?
