Since you have been writing to the disk, and blocks may wait some time in memory before they are written, simply detaching the disk could cause a lot of problems. First unmount the disk so that buffers are flushed and nothing has files open. Then echo set device 0800 off > /proc/dasd/devices This will show on your console that the device has been disabled. Now you can detach the virtual device. There's no need to restart unless you want to. Rob
