Peter,
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I stumbled onto chzdev in an Ubutntu system. I was trying to add both swap
VDISKs and a minidisk. There was no 'dasd_configure' as there is in SLES
and there was no /etc/dasd.conf as I believe there still is in RHEL, so I
looked into how to create udev rules for those devices.
chzdev just handled it (it is now my friend :)). Then adding the 'by-path'
flavor references to /etc/fstab was easy and - 'voila' - the swap spaces
are persistent across reboots.
It would be great to see the latest s390-tools in all the distros
(hint-hint :)) ...
