Nope. Linux also sticks the volser in the DCB's that it puts on disk. You better use Linux' fdasd to change the volser if this would ever happen to you. You could even run the ramdisk system to do that. But from what you show it would seem that you don't have a CDL format disk but a LDL (where Linux uses LNX1 rather than VOL1 as key in R3). If that's the case then fdasd will complain in that style, and I think you would be better of copying the data (file level) to a new disk. Rob PS I think you can even do this being less stupid. From what I recall fdasd was overwriting the volser with its own 0Xnnnn even when you set one with dasdfmt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
