Did all of the cyls (10,000+) get allocated as PERM? Here is an EXEC I use to check the status of a disk. Remember to DET the disk from the system and ATT it to your ID. When I'm in a hurray I sometimes forget that little bit of information.

I should have mentioned that I had confirmed that LNX000 is a Model-9. Below confirms the DEVTYPE & number of cylinders for LNX000 is that of a Mod-9 : Q DASD LNX000 DASD 7E7D CP SYSTEM LNX000 0 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 09:56:45 Q DASD DETAILS 7e7d 7E7D CUTYPE = 2105-E8, DEVTYPE = 3390-0C, VOLSER = LNX000, CYLS = 10017 CACHE DETAILS: CACHE NVS CFW DFW PINNED CONCOPY -SUBSYSTEM Y Y Y - N N -DEVICE Y - - Y N N DEVICE DETAILS: CCA = 7D, DDC = -- DUPLEX DETAILS: -- CU DETAILS: SSID = 015E, CUNUM = 7E00 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 09:57:16 The problem still persists. Any further suggestions as what I'm possibly missing..

This will give you the device address of that volume, such as: DASD 6903 CP SYSTEM LNX000 Then enter Q DASD DETAILS nnnn and find out how many cylinders CP thinks it has. If it is incorrect, it isn't configured correctly in the storage controller or you have the wrong address.
