Yes, that was how we were thinking to approch it since fdisk / hard
partition style slicing is so inflexible. As David pointed out ECKD
limits it to Three.
I, as a VM guy first, don't really see the big win over just using
mdisks, but I suppose since we have no dirmaint / directory/ vmsecure
bits it would allow most of the VM's management to occur from the
Linux side of things.

Why not use LVM with one large minidisk and use logical volumes to
'partition'? That way you can use a single partition on the
minidisk(s)
and divide it up as you like on Linux...

Ron and I have been talking about some things he wants to add next:
Main
one
is the ability to support single disk slices: Right now the product
uses
separate mdisks per FS. easy enough in VM of course, but some
coming at it
from a pure Linux background would like the various disk paritions
on the
same virtual volume.
