Could someone please send me their Z/VM 5.3 Extent Control file to peek at?
Thanks.

Your EXTENT CONTROL entries came out garbled when I look at them.. I
see 3390-01 in there - which is the size it seems to be using.
What do your DEFAULTS show for 3390-3 or 3390-03 or whichever you are
using in REGIONS?
It's sounding very much like it thinks these are 3390-01 -- so either
it's being specified that way in REGIONS - or you have an entry for
3390-03 that points to 1113 size in DEFAULTS..

When you added it to EXTENT CONTROL, did you send the file
back to DIRMAINT and tell it to reload the EXTENT CONTROL file
(DIRM RLDEXTN)?

I've only added the following to the Extent Control
file.....and the Defaults Datadvh file is set right.
:REGIONS.
*RegionId VolSer RegStart RegEnd Dev-Type

530USR 530USR 001 3338 3390-03
*DASDType Max-Size 3390-01 1113
3390-02 2226 3390-03 3339 I
just formatted, allocated another 3390-3 pack as all perm,
added it to the REGIONS in Extent Control, attached it to
the system, added it
to $ALLOC$, issued Dirm Freext which shows
VOLUME DEVTYPE -------------- FREE EXTENTS ---------------
530TDK 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
It definitely doesn't see it as a 3390-3?

is the starting and ending cylinders of the area that
DIRMAINT is allowed to allocate.
Are you having problems with any other 3390-3 volumes?

Yes, the Extent control file has them as 3390-3.
A Dirm Usedext shows all the users mdisks. A
Dirm Freext comes up empty.

there is something else on the volume?

Hello all,
I have a 3390-3 allocated as all Perm
(PERM 0 3338 3339).
Dirmaint will
not let me allocate past cylinder 1170? I
have another 3390-3 also allocated as all
Perm and Dirmaint won't let me allocate
past cylinder 1100? Any ideas?
