If your new Linux is a SLES, it have a function to format a number of disks simultaneously, in parallel mode, during the installation process. Very useful. Or, what I did: I have a pool of VM machines to do it. One DDR0 (master) and 30 DDR(1-30) slaves, that format dasd (ICKDSF) simultaneously. I run about 10 by time, to prevent I/O queue problems.

I need to format 60 339-9 for use with a new Linux guest. Up to now out
guest have used a LOT less and I would attach them to a current Linux and
format them with dasdfmt. 60 volumes will take a long time unless there is
a quicker way that I don't know about.
Thanks
