Thank's I will try that out. I have read in the help pages for RESERVE and I see what it does, but what is the major difference from just run FORMAT, what does FORMAT not do ?

When did that happen? You should NEVER use LDL for minidisks if you can avoid it (and even then, it's discouraged). There was a period of time when DIAG250 didn't work in 64-bit, but I believe that has long ago been fixed. Allocate the new disk in the directory entry for the Linux guest. Link the disk from another userid, and do the CMS FORMAT and RESERVE there. Then detach the disk from your userid, log on to the Linux guest, then #CP LINK * cuu cuu MR for the new minidisk. You can then bring it online and tell the diag driver to have at it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
