Architecturally, the number of cylinders is orthogonal to the model number. It just so happens that our model 'n' has 'm' number of cylinders on it. The number of cylinders actually comes from the device itself. (E.g. note minidisks have the device type of the underlying rdev, but have fewer cyls.) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
