I have this problem in the old days when using FDR backup VM DASDs when Cylinder zero is not formatted... Most likely the problem is in FDR
I use VMBACKUP to backup all LINUX volumes. "Stahr, Lea" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ternational.com> To Sent by: Linux on LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu 390 Port cc <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ist.edu> Subject Bad Linux backups 07/24/2006 09:31 AM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ist.edu> I run SuSE SLES 8 under ZVM 5.1 in an IFL. The DASD are in a SAN that is also accessed by ZOS. Backups are taken by ZOS using FDR full volume copies on Saturday morning (low usage). When I restore a backup, it will not boot. The backup and the restore have the same byte counts. Linux support at MainLine Systems tells me that he has seen this before at other customers. What is everyone using for Linux under ZVM backups? HELP! My backups are no good!
