Looks like it's a typo. The minidisks should NOT overlap. if they did, you'd have loss of data.

Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU> z/VM listservers, This may seem like a stupid question for those having worked with VM for many years, but I'm trying to bring up a VMTEST 2nd level VM guest under z/VM for testing, etc., and following this guide: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zvm/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zvm.v610.hcpa0/basinst.htm Within the 3 MDISKs defined in Figure 16, there appears to be OVERLAP in the cylinders allocated. Is this a typo in the guide or is this something that is supposed to be done for some reason to create the 2nd level VM? Figure 16.
