Here is a clue to the problem, I think: I attach volumes 2108-210a to system logged in as MAINT. When I q dasd free, I do not see these disks listed as free. I RLDE the EXTENT CONTROL file and log off MAINT (after I have replaced the user direct file for the guest in question). When I log on to the guest I get the "not linked" message. When I log back into MAINT and q dasd free, the disks in question are showing free again. This says to me I am not attaching them correctly. Am I on the right track?
