In my view it depends on what you need: - a few very large disks, go for FCP FCP luns can't be suballocated (as far as I know), so wanting a lot of small ones won't give you any fun with the storage admin.
- lots of small disks, go for old style ECKD LVMing lots of ECKD disks to get a large allocation is cumbersome. But it is no pain to get a lot of them. That's what the S390 boys have been doing for ages. Best regards, Pieter Harder [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel +31-73-6837133 / +31-6-47272537 >>> "Lionel B.

What I'd like to find out is what is true and what isn't - basically what is considered the best practice for zlinux dasd. Thus - what do y'all think? Thanks in advance. Lionel B.
