Just today I took 3 minidisks formatted for CDL and put them under control of LVM and they appear to work without a problem (I used /dev/dasd<x>1 rather than just /dev/dasd<x>).
-----Original Message----- As I am sitting here designating the file system for my next Linux LPAR, It occurs to me that it will be advantageous to take the 2 remaining 3390-mod 3 1 gig custom volumes I have and make them into a single 2 gig volume with LVM. My management wants all this done in CDL so that we can take volume backups, etc. via S/390. The question I have is this - what are the implications/problems/concerns with having 2 CDL volumes (2 vtocs, etc) in a Linux managed LVM?
