I am attempting to add another dasd volume to my Slack 390 system. I
have done the steps below. It worked fine, but when I IPL'd it could not
mount the new volume/filesystem. How do I bring the volume online at ipl
time?

1.      Bring new volume online to linux.
echo add device range=322e > /proc/dasd/devices

2.      Figure out what device name was assigned to the volume. 
grep -i 322e /proc/dasd/devices

3.      Format new DASD 
dasdfmt -b 4096 -p -f /dev/dasdb -l LNXD01

4.      Create a partition on the new volume
fdasd -a /dev/dasdb -l lnxd01

5.      Put a file system on dasdb1
mke2fs -j -b 4096 /dev/dasdb1

6.      Turn off forced fschks 
tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/dasdb1

7.      Mount new file system
mount /dev/dasdb1 /usr/dataVolume

8.      Edit /etc/fstab so that file system will be mounted at IPL
#vi /etc/fstab
/dev/dasdb1      /usr/dataVolume  ext3        defaults         0   0


Thanks for your help,

Russ Jones
