On this particular system I'm running at kernel 2.4.17 with the s390-tools-1.1.3 from the May 2002 stream. Shouldn't that version of dasdfmt already have that patch applied?
From: Carlos Ordonez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Dasd partition disappeared check the IBM opensource website http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/current2_4_x-august2001.shtml for: 2001-12-12 patches s390-tools-4.tar.gz MD5 recommended (2001-12-12) This patch contains the following s390-tools bug fix: Description: fdasd: missing 390 data set name for big disks. Symptom: One of the 390 data set names, which exists for each partition, is missing for modell 9 DASDs. Problem: The modell 9 DASD needs a special freespace label within the VTOC. In this case the "last available FMT1 DSCB"-pointer wasn't set to the right label. Solution: This pointer is now set correctly. Carlos A. Ordonez IBM Corporation Server Consolidation�
