I have the flag <format config:type="boolean">true</format> for each of my disks, but it seems that my 0101 disk is not being formatted. After going through the AutoYast UI, and rebooting the z/VM virtual machine, I see the following on bootup:
dasd(eckd): 0.0.0101: (4kB blks): 2403360kB at 48kB/trk compatible disk layout dasdb:VOL1/ 0X0101: dasdb1 How do I fix this?

Make it easy on yourself: http://linuxvm.org/Patches/#autoinst The entry you want (one for each DASD volume) is: <format config:type="boolean">true</format> Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu 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 lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
