You probably want some combo.

We use mod 3 for paging - the more devices the better under heavy paging
load.  Mod 1's would be good too -we did that when we were on a HDS box
that had little bits of leftovers somehow.   

Mod 9 and 27 for everything else Linux.  My preference now is the 27 as
there is just less of things to define (both to guests that need LVM'd
bigger filesystems) and to VM and VM:Secure (our directory manager).

Mod 54 has some restrictions with minidisk cache - so you might want to
avoid those.

And FCP, like David mentioned, we're working on that for the crazy
applications that want 2TB defined to a single Linux.

Make sure your disaster recovery system/provider can do whatever you
decide.

Subject: [LINUX-390] dasd (3390) model usable space

We are trying to decide which 3390 model to configure in our incoming
storage device (probably emc but could be shark). The point of interest
is which model provides the least amount of 'wasted' space due to
overhead requirements.  Here is a chart that I've cobled together from a
few web sites and you'll notice that the usable bytes column is empty.
