Just to avoid confusion to newbies. Note that to have a fullpack minidisk there is no need to define it with 0 END in the CP directory; 0 3339 would also define a fullpack if you define it on a 3390 model 3.
For CP, the translations it has to perform for the IO's issued by a guest are a bit less complex if it is a fullpack minidisk. Simply said: it doesn't have to check the guest reads/writes to just that part of a volume. And, when a target minidisk doesn't start at cylinder 0, CP must change all cylinder numbers to apply an offset. 2010/6/19 zMan <zedgarhoo...@gmail.com> > Most-pack. > > > On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 7:20 PM, Scott Rohling <scott.rohl...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> "one off full pack" ? >> >> Scott Rohling >> >> >> On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 5:17 PM, Schuh, Richard <rsc...@visa.com> wrote: >> >>> Others >>> >>> "great big" >>> "big honking" >>> "near full pack" >>> "not full pack" >>> "well-nigh full pack" >>> "shaved full pack" >>> >>> Regards, >>> Richard Schuh >>> >>> >>> >>> > -----Original Message----- >>> > From: The IBM z/VM Operating System >>> > [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Les Koehler >>> > Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 4:03 PM >>> > To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU >>> > Subject: Re: what is a 'full pack' minidisk? >>> > >>> > How about: virtual full-pack >>> > >>> > Les >>> > >>> > Rob van der Heij wrote: >>> > > On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 11:26 PM, Scott Rohling >>> > <scott.rohl...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> > >> Ok -- darn it.
