I will give that a shot, but now I am worried about bigger things! PAV was turned on to ALL of our DASD last December. The linux instances that were already running seem to be OK, but if a problem arises I will be left with no support. All of my boot disks have PAV enabled! This looks like something to run up the IBM support ladder, because I think that it is a priority to have the drivers updated for PAV.
