I recently heard, out in the field, an assertion that Linux cannot use
jumbo 3390s.  I know I've used up to fullpack mod-9s, and a cursory
glance through the contents of kernel/drivers/s390/block doesn't seem to show
any obvious size limitations.

If it matters, we're using z/VM 4.3 with at least fairly recent PTFs,
with SLES 7.2 (with all or almost all fixes) as our Linux
implementation.  It's my understanding that z/VM can handle 3390s up to
32760 cylinders now; will I have to cut these down into smaller
minidisks for Linux/390 to use them, or will they work as they are?  If
the former, what is the largest 3390 Linux can make use of?
