Hi,
I've just installed our first RHEL4.4 Linux under z/VM 5.3 (RSU 0703) and we
have a slight issue with the fdisk and fsck commands in that they don't
recognise the partitions on the 3390 minidisks that Linux is using for it's
dasda disk:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fdisk -l
Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512)
Disk /dev/dasda: 7384 MB, 7384596480 bytes
15 heads, 12 sectors/track, 10016 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 180 * 4096 = 737280 bytes
Disk /dev/dasda doesn't contain a valid partition table
We booted from dasda1 and can access the filesystem OK, just not via fdisk. Is
this something to do with the fact that these are z/VM 3390 minidisks and not
standard IDE hard drives? Or are we doing something wrong? Or is this 'normal'
behaviour?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Darren
