That file is not writable anymore in Linux 2.6., and it's going to go away
entirely in the future (tool lsdasd will replace reading /proc/dasd/devices).
The same operation can be performed via sysfs:
"echo 1 >/sys/bus/ccw/drivers/dasd/<device>/online"
Given that sysfs is deep nested, the tool chccwdev provides a more user
friendly way of enabling a device.

Both operations do _not_ add the volume permanently: it will be vanished after
reboot again...
