After adding the volumes through yast and putting them online with chccwdev, I worked happy with them till IPL. Unfortunatelly, yast don't give that informational massage, or I was to quick.
It was tricky to make changes to /etc/fstab when in PCOM, but we managed to create version without that partition with: grep -v dasdf1 /etc/fstab > /etc/fstab.temp So, now I added to my procedure mkinitrd and zipl.

I do which yast would, at least, give you an informational message telling you that you need to do those steps when you add/chg/delete dasd. Sometimes I too quick to IPL and as I start the shutdown process...Nooooo! Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/27/05 6:06 AM >>> Hello, can you say, what will add the dasd permanently? I added one dasd (through Yast - ACTIVATE - SLES9). After reboot, that dasd is not activated at the same time when others, so it can't be mounted in /etc/fstab.

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... -- Carsten Otte IBM Linux technology center ARCH=s390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
