CMS doesn't write a standard VOL1 label on the disk, so z/OS will never be happy with a full-volume CMS disk. So, make it rule #93: If you want to mount VM volumes on z/OS (e.g. for backups), do not create any fullpack CMS volumes (minidisk or not). All volumes must have a VOL1 label on them (such as is created by cpfmtxa). Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
