Sorry, my example contains two "Finger Check"s...
The correct form is:
DIRM FOR LINUXxx AMDISK 0200 FB-512 VDBS1024 32000 MR
With this command, the directory card generated by DIRMAINT was:
MDISK 0200 FB-512 V-DISK 64000 MR

Re: V-Disk sizing question(Document
link: Clovis Pereira)
To define, you can use DIRMAINT.
See this partial help from command DIRM AMDisk:
V-DISK
provides virtual disk space to a user upon logging on. The V-DISK may
already exist when the user links to it, providing other users that
previously linked to it are still linked when the user logs on. Otherwise,
the owner must initialize or format this minidisk at each logon. It
remains a part of the owner's virtual configuration until logoff or disk
detachment. When the last linked user logs off or detaches the V-DISK, the
file space is returned for reallocation to another user.
VDBSnnnn
is functionally equivalent to V-DISK except that the size is specified
in units of CMS 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096 blocks rather than in CKD
cylinders or FBA blocks. Valid values are: VDBS512, VDBS0512, VDBS1024,
VDBS2048, VDBS4096, VDBS1K, VDBS2K, and VDBS4K.
Example: to define a Vdisk with 32M:
DIRM FOR LINUXxx AMD AMDISK 0200 3390 VDBS1024 32000 MR

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
As to the size, Linux does nothing automatically (unless you tell it
to). You can define the vdisk size to whatever you want. I typically
use 32MB for some machines more for others, depending upon the machine.
