Hi all,
I have a DASD at 0405.
q dasd details 0405
0405 CUTYPE = 2107-E8, DEVTYPE = 3390-0A, VOLSER = MV0405, CYLS =
3339 <------- 3339 cylinders
CACHE DETAILS: CACHE NVS CFW DFW PINNED CONCOPY
-SUBSYSTEM Y Y Y - N N
-DEVICE Y - - Y N N
DEVICE DETAILS: CCA = 55, DDC = --
DUPLEX DETAILS: --
CU DETAILS: SSID = 0085, CUNUM = 0001
According the query it has 3339 cylinders.
But it seems that only 156 cylinders are visible to CP. For example, here
I try to CPFMTXA on it:
cpfmtxa

This happened after an aborted Red hat installation and this particular
DASD was supposed to hold the root filesystem.
Is the DASD corrupted? Can it be fixed? With ICKDSF?
Any hints is much appreciated.
