Jim,

There are 12 4096 blocks per track or 601,020 blocks
on a 3390-3 and 1803060 blocks on a 3390-0. The VTOC
for cdl is the small for all volume sizes as its just
a small "dummy" vtoc.

To copy just the allocated stuff on a dasd partition,
Richard Higson's tar2tar (below) is a convenient tool.
Assuming your two volumes are /mnt/vol1 and /mnt/vol2,
then you just

. tar2tar /mnt/vol1 /mnt/vol2

I've found that if I'm copying my respack, I mount it
a t a different mount mount and copy from their to
avoid some inconsistencies.

tar2tar

#!/bin/bash
# //rhi Jan 2000
#         Richard Higson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
# tar2tar from-dir to-dir
#
[ ! -d $1 ] && echo -n $1 is NOT a directory
[ ! -d $2 ] && mkdir -p $2 && echo -n Directory $2
created ...
[ -d $1 ] && [ -d $2 ] \
  && (cd $1 && tar -cp -f - .) | (cd $2 && tar xpf -)
echo "... done $1 to $2 ..."
