I have a z/VM vol that contains a 'full pack' mdisk for a linux guest. when trying to back up this vol from z/OS with DFDSS he complains about there not being a valid VTOC. IS there a way to just "clip" the VTOC to get the information in the right format and NOT distroy the data. The mdisk is cyl 0001-3337 on volid NLNX0A.
