If the mdisk was changed it may appear to be recomped.. example: Define a mdisk as 50 cyl and ddr a 25 cyl mdisk to it .. now the 50 will appear to be 25 to q disk but 50 to q v dasd. Also if a mdisk is defined in the directory that overlays the start of an old mdisk of a different size and the new disk doesn't get reformatted you will see inconsistencies.
