Example: dasdfmt -b 4096 -y -f /dev/dasdb -l vol001 & Now when you view it from MVS it shows as vol001 :Warning OFF
Yeah: if you care what the volser ends up as then you should always use the -l flag to set it as part of the DASD preparation step. If, on the other hand, you only care about it from a device address standpoint, the default is probably OK.
