I second what Jim Hughes said - essentially that if it doesn't include cylinder 0 it's just a "minidisk", no matter what the size.
Personally, and as discussed here by others in the distant past, I prefer to not give out the last cylinder of a real volume in order to make it much easier to copy a 1st level volume for 2nd level testing. Doing this is just an extention of the same logic that leaves the last cylinder of the system volumes empty by design (as requested of IBM by user groups). So now you need a term for a 1 to (END-1) minidisk.... :) On a related note, I don't like using "END" in the first place because it's not obvious how big it is unless you know the size of the volume. It's an unneeded obfuscation.
