Hi,

just to clear things up, the option -f/--device was deprecated
for quite some time and got removed with s390-tools 1.37.1:

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/s390-tools-1.37.1.html

Also, I agree that the message "Try --help..." isn't very helpful.
There should be a bit more logic to it and tell the user what
option was wrongly specified (will look into it).

I saw that you were able to resize your volume. Are your dasdfmt issues
solved? If not, let me know.

Regards,
Jan
