I have a question. For each volume to be used by zLinux, I am using ICKDSF under CMS to do a CPVOLUME FORMAT of the entire volume. I then make a minidisk on that volume which is the entire volume starting at cylinder 1. This is to ensure that Linux cannot destroy the VOL1 (sorry, but I'm paranoid about my volume labels). In any case, after the CPVOLUME FORMAT is complete, the minidisk is LINKed to the zLinux image. I then do a "dasdfmt" followed by a "mkfs".
My question is, since I am doing the "dasdfmt" under zLinux, can I get away will only doing a CPVOLUME FORMAT of cylinder 0? Is there any need to CPVOLUME FORMAT the rest of the disk, which will be formatted again by zLinux? If not, that will save me a LOT of time! -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225 This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
