Looks like I skipped the "directxa" step, thanks to all.

Matt,

Who has ownership of the LN4F85 volume? Maint? System?

According to your system config entry for all LN* volumes, the volume should 
belong to SYSTEM if you restarted z/VM.

Whenever I've gotten your same error, it's usually because I've formatted the 
volume under maint and forgot to reattach it to the system.

Did you "directxa" after editing the USER DIRECT file?

Subject: Unable to get device online

Seems to be the day for device issues on the forum. We are running RHEL 5.5 on 
zvm, I am trying to get a additional mdisk online to extend a vgroup. This is a 
mod-27, I did these same steps last week for a new vgroup and it worked fine. 
Would like to mention I am very new to linux and at a loss what to try next. 
Thanks Matt

Steps taken so far in vm;
cpfmtxa - that appeared to run fine.
xedit user direct and added mdisk.     MDISK 207 3390 0001 32759 LN4F85 MR READ 
WRITE MULTIPLE
There is a generic entry on the vm system config file for all LN/ volumes.
Restart zvm - I understand the user direct can be dynamically added but that 
did not work the last time I went to add a mdisk so I did a restart.

linux
Restart the linux server.
chccwdev -e 0207

Then get Device 0.0.0207 not found.
