Mark, No offense taken. Years ago kind people helped me learn VM... and now Linux. I try to help people learn VM when I have the chance to do so. Turnabout is fair play, I think!
What I'd like to do is pass on to you an updated how-to which can help others avoid this in the future. Sound fair? -----Original Message----- From: Post, Mark K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 10:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Enlarging Root File System You're both right. Willem is right in pointing out when and where the various system components are executed, and when their outputs are used, and how that led to the failure. It's helpful for people to understand the details in that manner. You're right in that essentially William was trying to outsmart the system, and wound up outsmarting himself. :) (Please don't think I'm beating up on William, I'm not. I have a tendency towards those kinds of mistakes myself, so if anything I empathize with him.) Now that William knows more about the details, he's not likely to repeat the mistake. (Hopefully, new people that read the archives won't either.) I'm just glad that people are willing to post their problems and ask for help. Every one of them is taking the chance of being told they did themselves in, and post the question anyway.

The dasd-driver is called with a range of numbers (200-21f). So these numbers are reserved and assigned to the corresponding letters (200 -> a, 201 -> b ...). This is independent from the fact that only 201 and 20E are currently present. The problem from my point of view was, that the dasds where exchanged two times. one time in the zipl.conf and the second in the dasd-configuration.
