Ah! If you still have the original disk you don't need PIPEDDR but you can just the pure thing without buffering or whatever. But it also leads to a next question... we don't have a pipeline stage to write to an FBA device when it is not accessed by CMS (thus CMS format). My "ccw" stage got a bit dusty since John did the track* stages... Something to try would be - define an EDEVICE for the LUN - define a 2nd (larger) EDEVICE and format/reserve with CMS - access the 2nd and write the blocks in the reserved part of the disk - use DDR to copy (with reorder) from the reserved part of the 2nd to the 1st disk By far easier would be to give a Linux guest both the original master and a LUN, and then use Linux tools to copy the file system. Once you have a copy on a LUN, you could still decide to use DDR to make copies (if you don't need Linux to modify the contents after copying). But it's almost Friday ;-) Rob
