Yes, because z/OS (well, the allocation routines anyway) knows nothing of the back-end storage. As far as z/OS is concerned its data is still sitting on SLED 3390 volumes so things like free extent sizes and so on still matter. Rex -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion

Hi Steve, As the OP, I agree that this doesn't appear to be an SDSF issue. I was trying to make sure it wasn't a display issue with my third party software, and knowing that others who are running SDSF are having the same issue gives me confidence that it is a problem in (most likely) JES2.
