When I look in the /dev directory there is no dasda, although in looking in /sys I can find the file that describes the disk drive as well as the file that shows it online.
If the device (/dev/dasda) is not in /dev, maybe you need to create it manually ? Check if it is present in /proc/dasd/devices. You will fin the major and minor in that file. As an example : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cat /proc/dasd/devices 0.0.0150(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 105840 blocks, 413 MB 0.0.0151(ECKD) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : active at blocksize: 4096, 211860 blocks, 827 MB You can create the dasda device in that example by entering these commands : mknod /dev/dasda b 94 0 mknod /dev/dasda1 b 94 1 mknod /dev/dasda2 b 94 2 mknod /dev/dasda3 b 94 3 Then you will be able to dasdfmt and fdasd.
