Nope, you didn't, since I know those limitations are inherent in the DASD drivers, not in the partitioning tools. I'm just glad that people will be able to use parted sensibly with DASD and not have to depend on yet another tool that doesn't exist anywhere except on the mainframe. I would love to see something similar done with fdisk so we can get rid of fdasd, etc. 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 more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
